Another non-speaking and uncredited part for Rita
in this classic black and white film, which also starred Montgomery
Clift (but unfortnately not in a scene with Rita).
Rita plays an inmate in "Lions View State Asylum". She
appears in two scenes.
The first in the opening of the film she walks across the crowded
room full of women until she gets to her rocking chair and gives
a nasty look to the women sitting in it until the woman gets up
and moves Rita sits down with a smile on her face and rocks back
and fourth while knitting.
The final scene comes near the end of the film
as Elizabeth Taylor nearly jumps over the top of the balcony,
as the inmates watch and cackle eagerly. It's Rita's rocking in
her chair, grinning as the camera keeps showing close ups of her
face that finally pushes Taylor over the edge. But she is pulled
to safety by one of the staff. Rita creates a really scary moment
in this short but exceptional non-speaking part.
