Movie Review: Cut Glass (1998): Minnesota Independent; R; 88 Minutes

            Oh, I love these little black-and-white movies! Especially this black-comedy take-off on Hitchcock (The Trouble with Harry) and even Whatever Happened to Baby Jane. Cocky plot, about a black lady with huge earrings who arranges a whiplash accident, then inveigles young people into caring for her. Of course, you know what those young people are going to do ¾ with her body. One young male character, Marvin, is especially funny, and pathetic, because he just can't control himself, literally.

            Nominated for a Minnesota Maybery award for 1998.
