Mala Powers is not your typical glamorous Hollywood
leading lady. Should we care? No. She's an accomplished actress
with a very attractive demeanor who brings to the screen
believable, authentic personas. Fear No More is one such outing
for Ms. Powers as Sharon Carlin a personal secretary who is
traveling to San Francisco from Los Angeles to deliver important
documents on behalf of her employer. No sooner has she entered
her compartment on the train than the trip takes a bizarre and
deadly twist which finds her escaping from a pursuer at a
whistle-stop along the way and into the arms of handsome French
motorist Paul (Jacques Bergerac). They return to Los Angeles
only to realize the episode on the train was just the tip of a
psychological and criminal iceberg which runs deep in the lives
of both Sharon and her antagonists. Mid-century modern title
design and animation augur well the interesting fare to come.
Bernard Wiesen's direction is crisp and sharp adding to the
film's psycho aura. You won't bail on this one.
