One of the best thriller/horror films from the 1940s. The setting is a large somewhat underused house on dilapidated grounds. Each of the characters enter the story and become possible suspects within the viewers mind. The film's thrills come from great cinematography and a building sense of impending doom. Helen Capel, Ethel Barrymore and Steven Warren play some of their best roles in this film. While this was remade twice (1975, 2000) neither live up to the original.
