A
Taste Of Evil (1971)
Synopsis: Veteran Hammer
scriptwriter Jimmy Sangster updated his 1961 psychological shocker Scream of
Fear for this early Aaron Spelling produced TV movie thriller — with mixed
results. Overfamiliarity dogs the Les Diaboliques-inspired plot in which rape
victim Barbara Parkins is either going crazy or the victim of a fiendish
scheme.
Barbara Stanwyck is good value in the role originally played by
Ann Todd, with Roddy McDowall, William Windom and Arthur O'Connell keeping the
suspense going, as the other possible suspects.
Cast: Barbara
Stanwyck, Barbara Parkins, Roddy McDowall.
