The Remarkable Mrs. Hawk

1961 · 50 min

A slow, queasy rural chiller where charm and menace share the same smile, leaving you uneasy long after the credits.

Overview
Cissy Hawk's farm keeps gaining massive blue ribbon hogs, while the passing drifters she hires magically disappear. Well-read grifter Jason Longfellow figures he'll last a lot longer at her Isle of Aiaie via blackmail, but seductive Cissy keeps local Sheriff Ulysses wound around her finger tighter than a pig's tail.
