Although he had never heard of her Seniors Real Estate Specialist (SRES) designation, he was so impressed with the info on issues affecting the "mature" client that he gave her a call. "We wanted a Realtor who could understand our need for a house that would not only comfortably accommodate all three of us and afford privacy," he says, "but also...

...Jury was written and directed by Harry Essex, a specialist in science-fiction screenplays (It Came from Outer Space, The Creature from the Black Lagoon) who had no notion of alchemizing menace from pictures and performances. Shot in 3D by noir whiz John Alton, and featuring occasional thrusts into the camera (a rifle, a dying man's hand, the pointed bra worn under a satiny blouse by Peggie Castle as Charlotte), the movie stays perfunctorily faithful to the book, including the use of a few famous lines.
