ann savage is one sexy freak
It was so creepy the way Vera kept coming onto Al, and yet totally hot at the same time; it was almost like she was turned on by verbally beating the crap out of this loser. I guess she was a real dominatrix type. It must have been why she scratched Haskell. And Ebert's spot on when he says Al enjoys taking it as much as she loves giving it. Really rather a modern couple.
That actress sure had an appropriate name.
