The Woman in White
CAUGHT IN THE BLACK SPELL OF TERROR!
Directed by Peter Godfrey
Produced by Warner Bros. Pictures
A gothic mystery thriller built on family secrets and inheritance schemes, where a painter becomes entangled in the machinations of cunning villains threatening the women he cares for.
A young painter stumbles upon an assortment of odd characters at an English estate where he has been hired to give art lessons to beautiful Laura Fairlie. Among them are Anne Catherick, a strange young woman dressed in white whom he meets in the forest and who bears a striking resemblance to Laura; cunning Count Fosco, who hopes to obtain an inheritance for nobleman Sir Percival Glyde, whom he plans to have Laura marry; Mr. Fairlie, a hypochondriac who can't stand to have anyone make the slightest noise; and eccentric Countess Fosco who has her own dark secret. The artist also finds himself drawn to Marion Halcomb, a distant relation to Laura for whom the Count also has plans.
