Have to agree with Leslie Williams in "Ransom
for a Dead Man"---a seductive, yet poisonous
character. Her husband gives up his career
as a State Supreme Court Justice, sets her up
in a flourishing law practice and a beautiful
house in Beverly Hills. With all that, she tells
him to take a hike, YET even after that (and
his threat expressed to his daugther to break
relations with Leslie) he still maintains
a civil relationship with her. His reward is
to be murdered without a hint of remorse on her
part. One thing that surprises me is that she
did rub out the stepdaughter when she started
harassing her.
