A run-of-the-mill tale of the Gothic kind, complete with an eerie mansion, a sinister Lord of the manor, a gorgeous innocent wife, a club-footed maid, highly charged dramatic score, and spooky lighting, among other things. Thoroughly enjoyable, if at times, tolerably bland.
I stuck with the movie to see what happened to the little girl for which I may have missed that part or they left it out. The movies that the little girl named, "Connie Marshall" had played in were such wonderful movies. If you have a chance to watch them, I think you would like them. You would have to look her up and then find the movies.
I have no idea how I stumbled upon this movie and I am sincerely baffled on why I continued watching it until the end. However, if I would have to say that I don’t regret it. I can’t help but feel sad for that poor tall man. Driven to madness knowing his whole life that he was under a curse of someone else’s misery. I think that if a child were to grow up in a world where they felt doomed before they even received the chance to live, it would create a world where hope didn’t exist at all, and yes I believe that would make a psychopath.
It's actually based on a book. It was required reading in my American literature class in high school as an example of a Gothic novel. Spoiler alert! You almost have to have read the book to follow the second half of the story after Nicholas and Miranda marry. The movie leaves out the account of their honeymoon, and gives no explanation of where Peggy the maid came from. It also completely omits the fact that Nicholas was a physically abusive husband. I believe the book is still available if you want to read it. The author is Anya Seton.
It's not madness, its called Demonism. I've seen this scenario in real life and it's always the same. It's Devil that uses his dogs (demons) to mislead a human from reality, he literally tricks people, making them believe that they are better than others, brging their "Ego" as high as his is, so that in the end, they die before they repent. That way, he can have them in Hell with the rest of his dogs. Most people that are closed in Asylums, are similar cases to what you saw in this movie. That's why we all have to be humble and thankful for what we have. Money and Egoism go together, one brings the other. Being an Egoist, or after a lot of money, is the worst mistake a man can do in his life, because he will end up, on the same path , with the poor guy in this movie.. God Bless you all
Joseph Mankiewicz has let himself down with this gothic pot-boiler! Vincent Price is absolutely risible as the lord of the manor. That come hither to the waxworks voice is just, well, priceless!!
I feel that Nicholas used women as a way to fill a void. A kind of darkness that he was born with. He hoped for a son because it would mean that he produced something, that amongst all his riches, a son would be something real, as proof to god that he was capable of doing what his father couldn’t, give real genuine love to more than one being, an obsession that I’m sure was meant to be passed down through inheritance. He used women to follow a pipe dream and when they couldn’t live up to his strict expectations he would fall back into that inner darkness that deep void, a place he had grown up in and was comfortable with because it was all he had ever known. Even at the very end of his life and his madness I don’t think his last wife was even really mad at him, I think she just felt bad. I think women are bred born and raised to feel bad for guilty men, it’s a way of survival and a psychopath like Nicholas would recognize that weakness and prey on it. He didn’t give her a chance to understand him to love him to care for him or show him any type of motherly instincts, because he never knew his mother and he couldn’t understand love. And I feel bad for him And I think he just needed to be hugged.
Another classic I have seen many times before but always worth seeing again, but of course any flick with Vincent Price is certainly great.
Vincent Price was a once in a lifetime actor for sure .....
One of my all-time favorite movie.
Back to watch again. Ty 🌹😉
I’m an old soul and I love gothic romance, I understand darkness and deep emotions. I enjoy finding elements of truth and light in the darkest places.
This my second favorite Gene Tierney movie with Laura being first.
Leave her to Heaven was her best!!!
@@edenswings44 I know I’ve seen it, but was so stuck on Laura, but I’ll watch it and get back to you.
I love this movie since my childhood. What an atmosphere!
Exquisite performance 👏 by VP with his unique and unforgettable voice 💛
A great find...thanks! Not ,"run of the mill", as someone else said!

Run of the mill for those who are not fans of Tierney and Price maybe. The rest of us loved it!
Loved it.♥️😁🌹
Great Movie!
You can't marry a dream ✅💯❤️

Is this in the Public Domain?
Too weird. Bailed on this one!

The book is much better. They left out so much!

I could not watch this outdated fluff piece. I had enough of Jeanne Tierney's breathless ingenue and quit at 20:28
Someone like you would call a Da Vinci Painting outdated.
Wow this was a prediction about trump!
Obama sails on to great acclaim as Trump shits himself into infamy. A sad but predictable toilet ending for GOP grifters.

Gullible people are easily brainwashed…to the delight of the democrap party.
Useful idiots.
Boring drab, weird writing, weird acting. Who blurts out “ I’m a drug addict in the 40s”. ?
Garbage, weird movie, weird writing, weird acting. Bizarre story. ( real corny for Vincent to blurt out “ I’m a drug addict”. Corny
