That Woman is Poison!

Warning: Spoilers
Nora Prentiss is that kind of gal that can drive a man to insanity while still maintaining that mountainous hairdo she wears throughout the entire movie. She has that oomph that makes one unsuspecting Dr. Richard Talbot go progressively bonkers over her, do something nasty to a poor fellow, and then follow her halfway across the country while wallowing in paranoia because of what he did. At the same time, he also gets in quite deep in the obsessive department and demands to know why on earth is she accepting the advances of one Phil Dinardo (because even though she's a lounge singer, she is to be untouched and virginal like the Madonna). Of course Richard gets in a little over his head, his face suffers as a result and what do you know, things catch up with him. And Nora? Well, quite well, thank you, always sporting that massive pile of hair and looking smashing in every scene, sort of staying by her man (Richard that is), because she's such a Good Sport. Nora Prentiss is That Kinda Gal. If only she knew of the wonders of restraining orders....
