Wow, I don't think I've ever seen this. Sounds loaded with suspense. Thanks for the heads up.

Miriam Hopkins tends to get somewhat overlooked, but she made some terrific films, Including that one (which I missed today except for a few minutes) "The Richest Girl in the World" with adorable Joel McCrea. They made a darling pair-up...
