Wait, what? Need more information. I'm aware there have been stage versions, though I can't get a copy of the play. I've not heard of an actual musical though and need to know everything about it.

I make everyone I know read We Have Always Lived in the Castle. I'm actually getting my first tattoo soon, and it is based on that book, no joke!

Shirley Jackson is my favorite writer, and I am so glad that you are the one chosen as the caretaker of these stories. Thank you.

The reviews of this film on the open culture film noir site are - well, here is a review from a man who gave it 5 stars because he thinks it shows the truth about how all women are liars and will probably kill someone eventually.

"Good acting. Most women are EXACTLY this way---excessively money hungry and can always kill for it directly or indirectly. Many men are this way too. Why do you think people divorce and remarried, etc? It is a shame! Millions of people are heading to hell in a hand-basket. Great movie. Great lesson. Beware of whom you call a wife or husband. You may be marrying to your death and destruction. Also, look at the pains and sufferings of the liar-woman. Lying and deception are grave evils of self-destruction. You can never get away with sin!!! Impossible! It always finds you out! Jesus in a person’s life is MOST CRITICAL!!!"

Then there is this little poem:
"I understand her desire. Her husband was a petit bourgeois. I would have kept the money too. But it was wrong that she killed people. When I saw her dead I felt very bad."

And obviously there's a weird one where someone is weird about her boobs.

Thank you for posting that! I love Lizbeth Scott and hadn't realized she passed away this year.

I adore that movie. It's also at http://www.openculture.com/free_film_noir_movies along with a bunch of other stuff, but I just keep watching Martha Ivers over and over.
They have The Red House, but the sound is unacceptable. I didn't realize what a great film that is til it was restored and put out on Blu Ray. It has Too Late For Tears but I hadn't watched it yet.

Ooooh! How I love Lizbeth Scott.

I would actually say it has gotten worse. I used to watch it (sorry!) and there would be the occasional thing I found problematic. For example, there were these ideas at the beginning that hot geek girls didn't exist. I remember a joke about making a strip version of some chess-based game, and the punchline was that any girl who could play the game would not be a girl you would want to see naked. That idea was eventually turned around some, and portrayed as the ignorance of the boys, not as fact. Bernadette came along and was great. Amy came along and was great.
BUT- while Penny's character has been allowed to grow some (though she still doesn't have a LAST NAME, as far as I know) the characters of Amy and Bernadette have deteriorated. Bernadette became a stereotypical shrew, and Amy is a sad, desperate, lovelorn type, her intellect rarely coming into play, and sometimes she is a flat out sexual predator (of Penny more than Sheldon) and it's supposed to be funny. She's like a female Howard a lot of the time.
And while it used to be funny when Sheldon spouted silly evo-psych theories about gender, the joke being how out-of-touch he was, when last I watched, those jokes were just flat out sexist. They weren't funny. They seemed written for shock value and a cheap laugh. I just cannot anymore with that show.
