Night Must Fall
Amazing! Different! Unique!
Directed by Richard Thorpe
Produced by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer
A tense psychological thriller set in a country house where suspicion and attraction intertwine as a young man's true nature remains tantalizingly unclear.
Wealthy widow Mrs. Bramson notices that her maid is distracted, and when she learns the girl's fiancé, Danny, is the reason, she summons him in. Mrs. Bramson's niece Olivia takes a liking to Danny, and comes to believe that he may have been involved in the disappearance of a local woman.
