A Wicked Woman - 1958 - 6/10
AKA - Dokufu Takahashi Oden / Poisonous Woman / 高橋お伝

Busy account of very lively girl, Oden.
After shoplifting a jewelry store, she is “apprehended” by a young policeman.
She begs him to let her rest at her home before going to the station.
At home, she enfolds him with the sticky petals and seduces him.
An official perceives her character and forces her into becoming both mistress and procurer for his slave trade.
Oh yes, she also has two husbands tucked away.
All in the first 30 minutes! Long takes make film feel slow at times, though.
Based - believe it or not - on a true individual.
