In the Palm of Your Hand (1951, Not Rated, 112 min, Spanish with English subtitles)
Roberto Galvadon directed this drama of deception, seduction and murder. A fraudulent clairvoyant (Arturo de Córdova) uses the secrets of his female clients to blackmail them, while being a pawn in the higher game played by a treacherous widow (Leticia Palma). Film expert Ralph DeLauro provides a brief introduction to each film and leads a discussion afterwards, often including pointers about how lighting or camera angles contribute to a scene’s mood or propel the story.
