Night Must Fall
Night Must Fall ★★★ 1937
Effective thriller based on the play by Emlyn Williams. Wheelchair-bound grand dame Mrs. Branson (Whitty) hires personable Danny (Montgomery) as a handyman for the cottage she lives in with niece, Olivia (Russell). Danny is, of course, too good to be true. He's a creepy killer after moolah, which Olivia discerns but does nothing about until he strikes again. Oh yeah, he also keeps a suspicious hatbox in his room. Remade in 1964 with Albert Finney as the killer. 101m/B VHS . Robert Montgomery, May Whitty, Rosalind Russell, Merle Tottenham, Alan Marshal, Kathleen Harrison, Matthew Boulton; D: Richard Thorpe; W: John Van Druten; C: Ray June; M: Edward Ward.
