Anna Lucasta 1957 DVD Cover

Anna Lucasta (1957)

Based on the Award Winning Title Play
Directed by Arnold Laven.

Cast:
Eartha Kitt, Sammy Davis, Jr, Frederick O'Neal, Rosetta Le Noir, James Edwards, Georgia Burke, Henry Scott, Rex Ingram, Alvin Childress, and Isabel Cooley.

Anna Lucasta is "a searing, illuminating family drama" (The Film Daily). Sultry siren Eartha Kitt is "vibrantly sexy" (Los Angeles Times) as a lascivious lady of the night, and cool cat Sammy Davis, Jr., displays "tremendous appeal and power" (Cue) in this torrid tale of love and greed. When wild child Anna Lucasta (Kitt) is banished from the family home by her self-righteous father, she falls into a life of prostitution and into the arms of street-wise sailor Danny Johnson (Davis). But after Anna shocks them all by finally finding true love with a well-heeled young suitor, her unforgiving father sets a vengeful plan in motion to remind his daughter of her sordid past and destroy her future forever! 97 min.
