The Grand Inquisitor

A Film By Eddie Muller

Legendary blacklisted Hollywood actress Marsha Hunt, 90, makes a stunning return to the screen in this haunting short film that writer-director Eddie Muller describes as "a noir fairy tale, based on actual events." A young woman (Leah Dashe) discovers a cache of used books that she believes holds clues to the solution of decades-old crimes. When the authorities dismiss her, she takes matters into her own hands, ringing the doorbell of Hazel Reedy (Hunt), a lonely recluse who may or may not be the widow of America's most notorious serial killer. Their cross-generational confrontation, played out in real time (20 minutes), leads to an unexpected and shocking conclusion. Adapted from Eddie Muller's short story of the same name, published in A Hell of a Woman: An Anthology of Female Noir (Busted Flush Press, 2007).

Well played, Mr. Muller. If that is, in fact, your real name...

If one knows where to look; one doesn't need to look too hard.

This was a very interesting short film! I was expecting that this was about Dostoevski's story "The Grand Inquisitor" but this was even better! Can't believe that it hasn't had too many views.
