THE SECRET OF THE BLACK WIDOW
The Hitless Wonder Movie Blog Posted by Dan Day, Jr. on Jan 1, 2026
This is another German Krimi feature, one of the dozens made in the early 1960s. It's part of a series of films supposedly based on the works of mystery writer Louis Weinert-Wilton, following up THE CARPET OF HORROR and THE WHITE SPIDER. THE SECRET OF THE BLACK WIDOW (original title DAS G read more

BLACK WIDOW is the first movie I've seen in a theater this year. It's not because I've been afraid to go, or wary of the experience. If the entertainment conglomerates would put out things that I actually want to see, I'd go all the time. But the pickings at the local multiplexes have been rat read more

Noirish Posted by John Grant on Jun 20, 2019
Originally published in 1934 as Who Else but She?, this is I think the first S. Fowler Wright book that I’ve read, although a vague memory nags that I may have read one of his adventure novels forty or fifty years ago. I do remember that, when I was a callow youth (as I still am, although tim read more
book: Black Widow (1952; vt Fatal Woman) by Patrick Quentin
Noirish Posted by John Grant on Jun 16, 2019
I first read many years ago, perhaps more than once, this classic novel of paranoia, gaslighting and what John Clute, when he and I were doing The Encyclopedia of Fantasytogether, christened godgaming — the process whereby a usually malicious person or group persuades another or others that a read more
