A woman is found strangled in a hotel. Dr. Parry (Kent Smith) is one of two doctors in the small town. The older Dr. Harvey is dismissive of the younger Parry. Parry urges mute Helen (Dorothy McGuire) to leave her job. Helen returns to bedridden Mrs. Warren (Ethel Barrymore)'s mansion as her personal nurse but there is a mysterious man lurking outside in the storm. Mrs. Warren cryptically urges Helen to leave that night.
I really love McGuire and Barrymore together. They have so much power even with a silent McGuire. I love the mood in that bedroom. The other characters are almost useless when McGuire isn't there. None of the others are that compelling compared to the 3 leads and I can't wait for their scenes to be over. The last act is pretty good but I bet a remake with some blood can be much more intense.
