Library" stamp on the verso. Based on the 1941 novel by John Brahm. The producers decided to move the setting from then-present-day early 1940s to the late 1800s, giving the film a "Gaslight" feel in terms of atmosphere.

The second of two key films John Brahm made with the great Laird Cregar in an unsympathetic lead role. Cregar specialized in creepy, ambiguous characters, a type he virtually invented in "I Wake Up Screaming" (1941), honed in Brahm's "The Lodger" (1944), and perfected in this film, which was to be his last -the actor died of self-imposed malnutrition before he could see the premiere. . 1) 8 x 10 inches.
