THE WOMAN THAT WOULDN'T DIE-1965-In England American Raymond Garth (Gary Merrill) is married to rich old bag Ellen Taylor (Jane Merrow) (it seems simply so she can have sex with him). He seems resigned to his fate until Ellen's young niece Alice (Georgina Cookson) comes to town. They begin an affair. Although Raymond makes plans with their chauffeur to do away with Ellen he gets a little over zealous and drowns her prematurely. He buries her in the garden shed. The chauffeur hires an actress to impersonate Ellen so it looks like she leaves town. Then he kills her and makes it look like a car crash. Now Ray and Alice are free to be together except after several strange occurrences, it seems like Ellen isn't dead.
The result is guessable but the twist ending is good.
WOMAN was known in England (where this was filmed) as CATACOMBS. It's kind of like a longer version of an “Alfred Hitchcock Presents” episode and was the directorial debut of German born Gordon Hessler who made THE OBLONG BOX in 1969.
Thanks for reading!
