@Cinemacabre #PiperLaurie was amazing in Carrie, which is primarily how I know her.
I made this video of Ministry's She's Got A Cause as a kind of homage to her stellar performance as the fanatically religious, mentally unstable, cruel, oppressive mother in Carrie.
As far as the ending, I think she got what she really wanted - a fitting climax to her sexual repression. De Palma captured the religious symbolism masterfully.

The Golden Blade is a 1953 swashbuckler starring Rock Hudson and Piper Laurie. One of the many swashbucklers of that era inspired by the tales of the Arabian Nights.

A bit formulaic but extremely well-made, the plotting is solid, it looks great, the cast is excellent and it has the right mix of action, adventure and romance with some dashes of humour.

My review: https://dfordoom-movieramblings.blogspot.com/2021/06/the-golden-blade-1953.html
