Let me add, BTW, that when you have a film with a shot featuring Bette Davis, Maggie Smith (rocking an AWESOME tux) and Angela Lansbury all in Anthony Powell’s Oscar-winning costume designs, I mean, goddamn. Anthony Shaffer’s script for _Evil_ was sharper that for _Death_ but both films rule.

Bette Davis in a gold ‘rich old widow’ dress with arm length white gloves and a monocle, Maggie Smith in that tux smoking and giving “yeah fuck you” and Angela Lansbury sipping her drink while wearing this crazy over the top thing I just can’t describe. Genius.

Something about this pic reminds me of my catty old aunts sitting around commenting on the family.

Nile absolutely has more money behind it so it’s so much more lush but Evil is a blast.

Angles Lansbury steals every scene in Nile, and that includes her time onscreen with both David Niven and Peter Ustinov.
