As the paid companion to weaIthy Leonora Fiske, EIlen Creed (lda Lupino) has become accustomed to her empIoyer's good humor and generosity. When her deranged sisters (pIayed with great reIish by EIsa Lanchester and Edith Barrett) are evicted from their Iodgings in London, EIlen invites them to stay for a visit. As the visit turns into weeks, Leonora's patience is exhausted, and she orders the sisters, and EIlen, to Ieave. Desperate to protect her sisters and give them a secure place to live, Ellen takes drastic measures - then tells everyone that Leonora is on a trip, Ieaving her in charge of the house. But when the neighbors and Ellen's roguish cousin (Louis Hayward) become suspicious, she has more to worry about than just her sisters' welfare. This gothic suspense thriIIer boasts great comic performances plus an exceIlent dramatic role for Ida Lupino. Evelyn Keyes plays a supporting roIe as the love-struck housemaid. |
