The Three Weird Sisters
Harvard Film Archive, 24 Quincy Street, Cambridge, MA
Directed by Daniel Birt, 1948. One of only two original screenplays written by the great Welsh poet Dylan Thomas, this film follows the titular sisters as they attempt to poison their half-brother to save their crumbling home. The dialogue is pure gold, and the direction is brilliantly inspired. Part of the series Great Expectations: British Postwar Cinema, 1945 – 1960. Screening on film.
