Tallulah Bankhead is a fabulous actress to watch. Always so passionate and captivating, I loved her in her earlier years. Here, she plays the sadistically religious mother of a deceased son who was engaged to be married before he committed suicide.
Patricia is about to get married to her lover Alan, but before she does, she feels that she cannot continue without paying her respects to Mrs Trefoile, the mother of her ex fiancé Stephen. Once there, it becomes obvious that Mrs Trefoile blames Patricia for Stephen's death. And when Patricia reveals that she had decided not to actually marry Stephen after all, Mrs Trefoile turns nasty and hold Patricia captive.
Quite a creepy movie, although it does appear that Patricia isn't the brightest tool in the shed and many attempts to escape pass her by as she cowers in the corner or shouts to people out the window.
