The Spiral Staircase 1946 📽️🍿🥤 Ethel Barrymore, Dorothy McGuire, George Brent Drama Mystery Thriller

Описание: 🌠 The Spiral Staircase In 1916, beautiful young mute Helen is a domestic worker for elderly, ailing Mrs. Warren. Mrs. Warren's two adult sons, Albert (a professor) and womanizing impudent Steven, also live in the Warren mansion. Mrs. Warren becomes concerned for Helen's safety when a rash of murders involving 'women with afflictions' hits the neighborhood. She implores her physician, Dr. Parry, to take Helen away for her own safety. When another murder occurs inside the Warren mansion, it becomes obvious that Helen is in danger.

🌠 Thoughts: A hidden gem!

🌠 Trivia: Joan Crawford, after receiving praise for her performance in A Woman's Face (1941), at one point campaigned for the role of the mute girl played by Dorothy McGuire. Crawford also owned the rights, but MGM studio Louis B. Mayer vehemently opposed the idea, telling her "No more cripples or maimed women".

🌠 Flub-Ups: After Helen first fetches the ether from the bathroom cabinet, she leaves the bathroom without closing the cabinet door. No one goes back to do anything with it, and seconds later the cabinet door has closed itself.
