Im trying to watch a movie I once saw, very long time ago, all I remembered was this scene where a young pretty blonde holds and then deliberately pushes her mother (i think) down the flight of stairs.


For some reason, that was a shocking scene to me...I cannot be 100% sure, but I'd say I'm 99% sure it was something from the 60s, and it certainly looked well made, like Hollywood production, so Im certain it wasnt some obscure B movie...


anyone got the idea what Im talking about?
 
Your question makes me think of Whatever happened to Baby Jane, but I don't think it's an exact match for your description.
 
B&W or Colour?

Any idea of period - ie 40's , 50's, 60's, 70's etc - that might give some pointers... contemporary or historical (ie set in the time frame of the movie or a Victorian melodrama)?

Just trting to make you recollect a bit more :)

I have a similar search for a movie. Saw it when I was 4 or 5. Don't know if it was B&W or colour (as i was watching on a B&W TV... it was the early 70's :) - it involved an actress (or singer) that struggles with addiction... and there's a tearful/sad ending as she dies after falling off the wagon. I have vague memories of a final scene with her ex husband standing next to a large fountain. But that's it :(
 
Color, definitely, somewhere in the 60s I would guess, the women actor seemed like a regular female star actor from the 60s...
 
IMDB has a special section for this on their message boards. I'm sure someone there knows.

The scene mimics or pays homage to Kiss of Death (1947), where a young Richard Widmark (a very underrated actor) ties his wheelchair bound mother to her chair with a cord and sends her down the stairs, laughing the whole time. This was paid homage to in Fade to Black.

Are you sure it isn't a he? If so, it might be The Omen.
