A friend and I watched this movie recently, and she swears her chief memory of it from her childhood is the line by Judith Traherne Steele, "Close the blinds, Martha. I'm going to sleep now" and the image blurs and goes to black.
It's not in the DVD I got from Netflix.
Did the friend make it up? It's beena while since she has seen it, but she knows her movies!
anyone remember that line too?
Is she anything less than a woman scorned, like the fury which Hell hath no?
Yes, this did happen in the movie. I watched it about 30 minutes ago for the first time. You must have accidently recieved another movie with the same title.
I just watched this on TCM this morning and that line was not there. Martha comes in the room and draws the shade without being asked. Judith says, "I don't want to be disturbed." Then Martha covers her with a blanket.
Martha follows Judith into the bedroom. She walks over to the window, and pulls down the shade. She then walks over to the bed where Judith is kneeling. Judith says, "Is that you, Martha?" Martha says, "Yes, Miss Judith". Judith says, "I don't want to be disturbed." (This is the final line of dialogue in the film.) Martha takes the clothes off the bed, then covers Judith with the blanket. Martha looks at her sadly for a moment, then goes. Judith's arm moves out across the bed. The camera comes in for a close-up of Judith's face, then blurs slowly to an eventual fade-out. That's how the film ends. That's how it's always ended every time I've seen it. Judith never says a word about closing the blinds. Martha does it of her own accord.
