The Trial of Madame X

What a hoot this film turns out to be. It's pretty much unwatchable, despite the fact that it runs for less than an hour. It really is basement level film making, where the actors look like they've wandered in to their first acting assignment, minus any training. The story is downright tedious, and the film merits two stars simply for the hilariously, over the top performance from Mary Taviner, in the title role. It has to be seen to be believed, and is melodramatic in the extreme.

As a curiosity piece, it stands alone and, together with the cringeworthy background music, it is absolutely dire!
