Mid-1980s. Color. Scenes going back to the maid's youth reveal a condition of dyslexia so severe that she failed to learn to read. Was mocked by other students, and by her father. Became a competent cook through verbal instruction, interpreting pictures on labels. Supported herself by staying within those boundaries. Offed her father when she'd had enough. After her move, she made a good initial impression on the American family that employed her.

Thanks, Sixes. Now, not supernatural or sci-fi horror, but human thriller/horror from a source that looks so ordinary that the victims usually do not see it coming.

[Do You Know Me?]

I guess I mentioned Mexico too soon if I wanted to stretch out the mystery. "B. Traven" is the name under which this writer published. There are disputes as to birth name and birthplace.

 

A knowledgeable film buff whom I knew in the 1960s passed along to me a legend about the making of *Treasure of the Sierra Madre*. Supposedly there were sometimes glitches with the film company working on foreign soil. Sometimes a man seen only at a distance would approach local authorities, and consult with them, and then things would be working well again. This man never talked with director John Huston or any of the Americans on the site -- just the local people of authority. Supposedly, that was believed to be the author himself. I have never read or heard that allegation from any other source. Aside from what got run through a printing press and put on paper, little else is known about "B. Traven." Oh, yes. -- he seems to have held some very Leftist views at a time -- and in some places -- where that was not a safe thing to do.

I've enjoyed about as much of this as I can stand. Nobody knows who devised her own Catwoman outfit and tried to confront Tim Burton and Michael Keaton during the casting of the first "Batman" sequel?
