The device is in the shape of a small sphere. While working nights at the lab, secretary Patricia Haines Ann Barlow sees something moving in the lab. Morley attempts to communicate with the creature, but he is killed. Reading about her incredible life story, I Said Yes to Everything, brought me closer to the actress whom I already admired and loved for so many years.
Lee Grant has a primal and candid sense of humor that is so invigorating to experience. And hearing it from Lee herself is life-altering and beyond meaningful. I also reexamined a lot of her great work so I could surround myself with the essence of her talent. But Lee Grant is a real and raw person. This is just another layer of greatness to an already great actor. Lee Grant is one of the most expository of actors.

That year she had caused a sensation as a child prostitute in Pretty Baby and the studio took advantage of her newfound popularity to try and breathe life into Communion. The ploy was not very successful.
In Citadel Films tried again, releasing the production for a third time theatrically this time as Holy Terror , with ten minutes shorn from its running time. Overlong, slowly paced and Catholic-baiting, Communion lost what little punch it had by revealing the identity of the killer too soon.
It constantly shows holy images contrasted with acts of violence, the best staged being the stabbing of the aunt on a staircase, the action being right out of a playbook by Alfred Hitchcock or William Castle. Tredoni Mildred Clinton , and is chastised by her mother. Letting her out, Alice warns Karen not to tell their mother or she will get rid of the doll.
Back at their apartment building, Alice has a confrontation with the landlord, Mr. Alphonso Alphonso DeNoble , a huge, bald, unkempt man she calls Fatso. Afterward, Annie announces she plans to stay with Catherine in her time of grief, and a belligerent Alice is told she will have to return to school. Dominick goes to see Brennan who wants to talk with Alice but he refuses after Cranston tries to implicate her in the killing.
When Alice gives Mr. Alphonso the rent check, she deliberately crumples it; he tries to grope her and she retaliates by strangling his beloved cat. Going to the basement of the apartment building, Alice wears the mask and feeds cockroaches she keeps in a jar.
Dominick and Father Tom go to the hospital to see Annie. Cranston arrives to question her but she only wants her milquetoast husband Jim Gary Allen. Whitman Louisa Horton informs her parents that the young girl needs psychological help. Back home, Dominick tells Catherine he thinks Angela may have murdered Karen but she disagrees. The two start to make love when his wife calls. Seeing someone he thinks is Angela, he follows her into the building and is stabbed in the left shoulder and then knocked out with a brick and bound with rope.
When Dominick does not return, Catherine goes to the rectory to see Father Tom. Father Tom returns and tells Catherine about Dominick being found murdered. After she and her mother leave for mass, Mrs. Tredoni, dressed in the mask and yellow raincoat, shows up to kill them. Thinking she is Alice, he grabs her and the woman stabs him to death and runs from the apartment building. She is followed by Spina, who has been trailing her.
Before the church service begins, Father Tom tells Spina he will turn Mrs. Tredoni over to the police when she attempts to get communion. Rushing to the altar, Mrs. Tredoni is denied communion by the priest and she stabs him in the neck.
Communion is populated by unlikable characters, some of them eccentric, like the grotesque landlord and the shrewish aunt. Surprisingly, the title character, Alice, has almost no redeeming qualities. She is a nasty, self-centered brat whose mental state is certainly questionable. The best Catholic-themed verite ever lensed in New Jersey…. The attack scenes are not for the faint-hearted…. Picture is full of off beat touches and characters. Well made, but beware.

A shipment of Chinese women arrives on the California coast but one of the captives, year-old Lotus June Kim , manages to escape. A Tong war takes place over the murder of Wah, the editor of the Chinatown Gazette.
Ruby is the mistress of elderly Ling Tang, the head of the slavery operation. Gil later questions Lotus, who tells him she was abducted from her homeland and brought to San Francisco to be sold into sexual slavery.
When attackers break into the room, Gil spirits Lotus into an elevator that leads them to the sewers. As they try to escape they are attacked by four men, and the girl is carried away by them. Gil follows but is knocked out. When he comes to, he is confronted by several men wearing masks, one of whom is Foon who, like De Quincey, has the tattoo of Ling Tang. Child, who is really a small adult and once the consort of Ling Tang, tells him they are being starved instead of killed outright so their ghosts will not haunt their former owners.
There he smokes an opium pipe and has terrible visions and weird dreams of attackers and monsters. Awaking, De Quincey jumps out of a window and goes into a building where he hears someone crying for help. Pursued by men with weapons, he falls from a balcony and wakes up when Ruby Low throws water on him. They are in her apartment where she reveals a secret room containing the vast treasure of Ling Tang which she plans to use to rule a province in China. They kiss and she knocks him out.
Gil is placed in a cage in a room next to the area where the slave auction is being held. As young women are forced to dance for Tong members who bid for them with opium, Gil manages to get out of his cage and sets Child and Ping Toy free. When one of the girls proves to be bald, the Tong buyers squabble, and Ling Tang appears to arbitrate the matter.
Pandemonium erupts as the girls try to escape. They escape through a manhole but Gil is knocked out and Child is killed.
Confessions of an Opium Eater is a confusing affair that hints that the character of Gilbert De Quincey, a descendant of Thomas De Quincey, may have some prior knowledge of the slave trade and came to San Francisco to aid Wah and his men in the Tong war — but this is not delineated in the script.

He also consults with astrophysicist Dr. Karl Sorenson Bruce Bennett , who agrees to go the site. The craft is a large egg-shaped sphere hovering above the ground. Knowland says the scientist, who Mathews believes is anti-military, is a major general in the reserves and one of those responsible for the atomic bomb.
Richie Walter Maslow , who resents the international barriers that prevent them from discussing the matter with other scientists. Richie also expresses his frustration at not being able to successfully complete a photon chamber diagram. A sergeant Alan Wells makes sure the landing site is well guarded and goes to the lodge where he has the feeling of an unseen presence, not realizing a light from the craft followed him.
At the lodge, Mathews shares a drink with Kathy who tells him her husband was a Korean MIA and that Ken has only six months to a year to live. When the colonel leaves the room to take a telephone call from the general, Kathy is frightened by a man in black who quickly disappears. That night the town is disturbed by the presence of the black-caped shade. The next day, Richie informs Karl that all their tapes have been demagnetized and someone has made the proper corrections to the photon chamber diagram.
This convinces Karl that the area is being visited by an alien. He later learns that the colonel plans to move the UFO to the local military post for inspection. When Karl leaves to go to the landing site, a stranger John Carradine wearing a hat, long coat and thick glasses requests a room that will provide him with privacy.
At Stone Canyon, the Air Force men are unable to move the sphere with a net attached to a truck nor can it be breached with a torch.
Karl determines that the object can turn light into energy and use it to emit powerful sonic blasts. This causes Mathews to demand the object be taken apart.
After he arrives at the lodge, the general agrees after Karl suggests the landing site may have been chosen because it is near plants working with ion propulsion and radiation.
As Mathews announces that Dr. Steinholtz Hal Torey is due to arrive from Washington D. When Karl objects, he is placed under protective custody and told by Mathews that various weaponry plants have suffered sabotage.
Karl and the sergeant, his guard, drive to the landing site over a little-used mountain path, followed by Kathy and Richie. After they arrive at the sphere, the stranger shows up carrying a sleeping Ken and puts him on the ground.
The apparatus is stopped but Steinholz wants to study the alien and turns it back on, causing the Cosmic Man to collapse.
Karl then turns it off as Ken wakes up and walks to his mother. A light from the craft disintegrates the space man as Ken bids him farewell. Karl announces that the alien will someday return.
Despite budget limitations, it is a fairly well-made and well-acted production that is too talky and action-less. The UFO looks like a huge suspended egg and the title character, mostly shown in a negative image, is not frightening and has little screen time, despite being portrayed by top-billed John Carradine. No doubt audiences expecting a monster and a few scares were sadly disappointed.
It does provide a hint of romance with Kathy being attracted to both the cerebral Karl and visceral Mathews. Director: Jean Yarbrough. Story-Screenplay: Jack Townley. Editor: George White. Music: Marlin Skiles.
