Rating: 3/4 --
It is fascinating to watch Cousin Bette as she lies to everyone, pulls the strings of her puppets, and distributes justice and revenge like an angry god.

Plays more like a crinolined episode of 'Dynasty.'

Product Description:
Lange plays a woman who seeks revenge by employing a seductress (Shue) to do the work for her. Soon, every man in Paris has been victimized and discarded. Solid performances highlight this tale of seduction and betrayal.
