Please tell me. Who is this actress? Need to know now.

Hello Movie Fans! We joined MovieForums to specificaly ask this question. I know we'll be back from time to time to join other discussions. For now, we need to know the actress in this photo. Maybe you know the film, too, or the actor in the background. This is very important to us. See you at the movies!

Moved to Movie Questions. In the future, please take a moment to place new threads in the correct forum.

It looks like Edith Evans with dark hair but I'm not sure. I don't know the movie/TV show and am also unsure of the male actor. It seems to be set in a French courtroom.

I don't think that is Edith Evans, but that deifintely has a British movie vibe, post war I would say, pre 1960. But what I dunno, an A movie because some nice camera work.

it looks like Beryl Mercer to me.

Looking her up, I never heard of her, there is a resemblance, but she made her last movie in 1939. I'll take a little closer look, but it doesn't seem she was in a movie that would fit that scene.

My comuter won't downoad it to PB, but here is BM in The Little Princess wearing glasses as Queen Victoria.

yep. that's where i knew her from. d'aw, she so kewt.

If it's a French court room drama(the police officer appears to be French), you should consider movies concerning the Dreyfus Case. There are quite a few French movies/series that cover that.

That makes sense. Those camera angles makes The Life of Emile Zola a strong candidate.

I just checked the cast from that movie. I didn't see any possibilities for that actress in Zola.

But what she is wearing roughly fits the period for the Dreyfuss affair.

I took a look at a clip on youtube (I have seen the movie before) and while the clothing seems to be from the same period, doesn't appear to be from the same movie.

No no no. This is not an actress. It is serial killer Marie Besnard who was charged with multiple murder on July 21, 1949. After three trials lasting over 10 years. She was finally freed in 1954, then acquitted on December 12, 1961. Look her up.

Excellent detective work, Weemus

Here's the picture on her page:
