I always remember this film from years ago, mainly for Stewart Granger's disturbing and creepy performance. After revisiting it recently and this time watching it with my mum, I realised it was even better than I had remembered.
Granger plays a rich and destructive man named Stephen who realises he is in too deep when he discovers that his manipulative scullery maid Lily knows that he is responsible for murdering his first wife. Lily is no fool however, and quickly blackmails Stephen into allowing her to become head of the house, a move that causes her to fall out of favour with the other staff. And so begins a cat and mouse tale as Stephen plans to murder Lily, and Lily plans to make sure Stephen never leaves her.
Atmospheric, spooky and mysterious! A great film.
