THE GRAND INQUISITOR
A St. Francis Studio Production
Presented by Zavodsky Vojkovich
scr./dir. Eddie Muller, 2008, 20 min.
Legendary blacklisted Hollywood actress Marsha Hunt, 90, makes a stunning return to the screen in this
haunting short film that writer-director Eddie Muller describes as "a noir fairy tale, based on actual
events." A young woman (Leah Dashe) discovers a cache of used books that she believes holds clues to the
solution of decades-old crimes. When the authorities dismiss her, she takes matters into her own hands,
ringing the doorbell of Hazel Reedy (Hunt), a lonely recluse who may or may not be the widow of America's
most notorious serial killer. Their cross-generational confrontation, played out in real time (20 minutes),
leads to an unexpected and shocking conclusion. Adapted from Eddie Muller's short story of the same name,
published in A Hell of a Woman: An Anthology of Female Noir (Busted Flush Press, 2007).
