Directed by Charles Vidor • 1941 • United States
Starring Ida Lupino, Louis Hayward, Evelyn Keyes
Ida Lupino is at her hard-edged best in this mood-drenched tale of murder and madness in a remote mansion on the English moors. She plays Ellen Creed, the full-time housekeeper and companion to Leonora Fiske (Isobel Elsom), a wealthy retired actor. When Ellen’s two disturbed sisters (Edith Barrett and Elsa Lanchester) turn up at the estate for what turns out to be an extended visit, tensions between the women mount and turn deadly.
