Justine Overview:
Justine (1969) was a Drama - Horror Film directed by George Cukor and Joseph Strick and produced by Pandro S. Berman and Kathryn Hereford.
SYNOPSIS
Cukor's valiant attempt to tame Durrell's dense, colorful Alexandria Quartet. An international cast do their best to imbue this with the simmering sexuality and alluring mystery of the novels, but the result suffers from the confusion many experienced with the books. Aimee is properly sultry in the role of a Middle Eastern prostitute married to one of Egypt's wealthiest bankers in pre-WWII Alexandria. With her husband's consent, she continues to inflame other men and is also deeply involved in a plot to arm Palestinian Jews about to revolt against English rule.
