I couldn’t agree more Heather:

• “The emotional grifter is as bad as the material grifter”

And don’t we just get the ‘privilege’ of meeting these psychological swindlers in our lives!

You describe them perfectly:

• “ They steal, instead of money, all the sunlight out of the room. The joy, hope, love and warmth of the day. It’s gone.”

And by the way, I did see the movie back in the day — showing my age now aren’t I? :)
