Tony Wright, born in 1925, was a British actor known for his work in cult cinema. He appears in The Liquidator (1965), showcasing his flair for comedy in this spy spoof, and delivers a compelling performance in The Creeping Flesh (1973), where he navigates the horror genre's eerie landscapes. With a career that spanned decades, Wright's contributions to films like With These Hands (1972) reflect the unique blend of genres that SassyFlix celebrates, capturing the spirit of exploitation and cult cinema.
With These Hands
Julie Mason (Georgina Ward) abuses her position as the owner of a private health clinic by selling sexual favours to her male clients, whom she then blackmails for large amounts of money. At the same time, she resists the sexual advances of Elsa Farson (Carmen Silvera), a lonely, older woman. When businessman Lee Maitland (Alexander Davion) engages her services, Julie, who wants to make a new life for herself, is taken by her new client and quickly becomes his fiancée. Meanwhile, barred from visiting Julie, Farson is driven to suicide. Julie is drawn into Maitland's plan to make them both rich, unaware that he is actually Farson's son and intends to avenge his mother. The film ends with Maitland, having faked his death in a road accident that Julie helped to create, disappearing with tens of thousands of pounds that Julie had extracted from her clients. Julie is left to choose between admitting blackmail or remaining silent and being charged with Maitland's murder.
