"Woman of Straw" is an old-fashioned thriller from the respected British producer-director team of Michael Relph and Basil Dearden. This handsomely coloured exercise is the kind of pseudo-Victorian suspenser that Alfred Hitchcock indulged in long ago. Here, the filmmakers are telling the one about the sexy nurse and the sinister secretary who connive to do away with a crusty old millionaire for his inheritance. The eminent Shakespearean veteran, Sir Ralph Richardson, plays the rich ogre, confined to a wheelchair by the contrivance of the plot. Mr. Connery does his personable best in a part that requires him to play a murderous madman. Gina Lollobrigida as the nurse, is the most irresistible of females.
