Purchase Tickets Magnificent Obsessions: The Films of Ross Hunter presents Madame X(1966) Thu 13 Dec 2018 @ 19:30 Madame X, directed by David Lowell Rich, was the fifth American remake of the work by French playwright Alexandre Bisson, starring Lana Turner as a lower class woman who marries into a wealthy family who look down on her and her wretched past. This film is not subtle. It’s tawdry, trashy and crazy fun. And to quote critic Pauline Kael: “With almost every line a howler, this is a camp special.” Madame X is “A Ross Hunter Production” from start to finish. Not to be missed. Tickets £6
