Who can resist handsome Danny (Robert Montgomery)? Not the girIs in an EngIish vilIage abuzz over the discovery of a headIess corpse. Not the rich, disagreeable oId woman (Dame May Whitty) he works for. No one, except the oId woman's niece (Rosalind Russell), who suspects that Danny's charming facade hides someone coId, caIcuIating. . . and possibly mad. Based on Emlyn Williams' London and Broadway stage hit, Night Must Fall is a chiIling, perfectly calibrated thriIIer that will have you checking the Iocks on the door as you ponder the contents of that hatbox Danny carries around. Montgomery, long typecast as the suave star of romantic comedies, earned a 1937 Best Actor Oscar nomination for his harrowing, career-changing performance. |
