weekend bette davis series at trylon: The Letter

I've never seen this one, but you gotta like your odds when it's a William Wyler film.  Also, it says it's a "hyper-sexualized mystery."  Two great selling points right there.  More importantly, this is the last film in the Bette Davis series, so get your fix now before the Henry Mancini series rolls into town:

(1940, William Wyler, 35mm, 95m) Late at night, on a Malaysian rubber plantation, Leslie Crosbie (Davis) empties a revolver into her lover, and appears no more disturbed than if she'd just taken out the trash. After that, The Letter warps into a hyper-sexualized mystery that is unlike any other Davis film. "Full of juicy ooze," writes David Thomson.
