On this day in 1977 (in the U.S.), the good people of Bismarck, North Dakota were treated to the exclusive theatrical debut of Ruby. Directed by Curtis Harrington from a story by George Edwards, Steve Krantz, and Barry Schneider, the film starred Piper Laurie, Stuart Whitman, Roger Davis, and others.
According to our friends at IMDB.com, here's the plot summary:
"Sixteen years after Ruby Claire's gangster boyfriend was shot and killed by four associates, a series of gruesome murders takes place at the drive-in movie theatre she now owns. Meanwhile, the behaviour of her mute daughter Leslie is becoming increasingly strange and a visiting psychic claims that forces from beyond are out for revenge."
For the record:
To the film's credit, Ruby garnered a wee bit of attention from a screening on the film festival circuit.
