When Jennifer Jones was good, she was great. She won an Oscar for The Song of Bernadette (1943). But we loved Jones best when she was very, very bad like in Duel in the Sun (1946) or Ruby Gentry (1952). Below is the trailer for the counter-culture expose Angel, Angel, Down We Go (1969 aka Cult of the Damned). It’s not on DVD, but try and catch this freaky little gem when it occasionally airs on cable.

Birthday Angel Angel Down we Go, Jennifer Jones
