SINS OF JEZEBEL (1953) ¢ ¢
D: Reginald Le Borg
Paulette Goddard, George Nader, Eduard Franz,
John Hoyt, Ludwig Donath, Margia Dean, Joe Besser
A biblical B movie about a beautiful temptress who entices the weak-willed king of Israel to shift his allegiance to the pagan god Baal. You can bet the Lord God Jehovah isn't going to stand for that, and sure enough, bad things start to happen to the Chosen People. John Hoyt plays the prophet Elijah and an equally ponderous narrator who delivers on-screen exposition from time to time. Eduard Franz plays the besotted king. Joe Besser (of the Three Stooges) plays a chariotmaker and provides what passes for comic relief. Paulette Goddard, then in her 40s (the exact year of her birth is uncertain)), plays the sinful, seductive Jezebel.
