The Last Film of...Joan Fontaine


The Witches (1966)
Just your run-of-the-mill horror story about a Christian missionary teacher who gets haunted while teaching in Africa, moves to a rural village in the UK, and continues to experience the same kind of supernatural interference that first drove her mad.

Why Was This Joan Fontaine's Last Film?
In a (few) word(s): The box office results and the disasterous reviews. She continued making television and stage appearances, but she never appeared in a film again.

Is This a Good Movie?
I didn't enjoy it. At all. It didn't age well—and I'm doubtful it was politically correct when it was made, too.
