About The Crooked Hearts
A charming but somewhat larcenous widow attempts to snare a rich bachelor through a lonely hearts club, but her scheme boomerangs into a deadly cat-and-mouse game. This marked the TV-movie debut of both Rosalind Russell and Douglas Fairbanks Jr., and was sadly also Russell's last film role.
Directed by Jay Sandrich, The Crooked Hearts leans on a strong ensemble — Rosalind Russell, Douglas Fairbanks Jr., Ross Martin — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about crime titles of 1972.
