This is one of my all time favorite movies. I have it on VHS and was so thrilled when it was released on DVD. Ive watched it many a time and every time I do, I cry. It is a tearjerker, so have some tissues handy. This is money well spent. Lana Turner is superb in this movie.

Lana Turners finest screen moments...

Holly Anderson (Lana Turner) is the young wife of a rich diplomat(John Forsythe).

Neglected by her husband, she is driven in boredom into the arms of Phil Benton, a playboy (Richardo Montalban).

When he is killed in a bad fall during one night of their encounter, she appeals to her matriarchal mother-in-law for help... But the aristocratic woman (Constance Bennett) who has always considered her an embarrassment to her family, convinces her the indiscretion will cost her husband his career and wreck their young sons life...

Over the years, she slowly drifts into a life of alcoholism and prostitution, sinking lower and lower until. in a Mexican hotel she meets Dan Sullivan (Burgess Meredith) a smooth-talking con-man, and agrees to join him in a blackmail scheme...

When she discovers too late that the intended victim is her husband, she shoots the ugly blackmailer and goes on trial for murder signing her confession as the mysterious Madame X...

Unaware of her true identity, the young lawyer assigned to defend her is her own son Clay Anderson Jr (Keir Dullea), now grown to manhood...

No one will be able to watch "Madame X" (filmed six times) without a strange feeling in the throat... So if you havent cried so much in years, this is your opportunity to see the mother-love and self-sacrifice in specially in the famous courtroom scenes... Shes truly very moving...

Constance Bennett, one of the most glamorous stars of the 1930s returned to the screen after a twelve-year absence... Sadly, the film was Bennetts last she died shortly before it was released...

I cant remember how young I was when I first saw this film. What I do remember is the feeling of (HOME) it gave me. I was just a kid then Im 50 now and it still gives me that same feeling everytime I watch it. The look that Clayton has on his face in that court room is "SOUL STIRRING" as he gazes into his mothers eyes. A true Ross Hunter classic. If you cant feel Lana Turners pain as she wonders aimlessly from place to place, city to city, town to town , this film is what happy endings is all about. Life can be wondeful if you just believe !!!!!!!!!!!!!
