Preminger’s superb Freudian noir thriller opens on a high hill at a vast
estate where paramedic Frank Jessup (Robert
Mitchum) treats Catherine Tremayne (Barbara O'Neil), who suspects she has survived an attempted murder.
As Frank becomes infatuated with Catherine’s outwardly angelic stepdaughter
Diane (Jean Simmons), he finds that
her angelic countenance masks an unbridled psychotic who'll let nothing stand
in the way of her happiness. As Diane arranges for Catherine's death, she forces
Frank to become her spiritual accomplice in her murder plot. (1953, 91 mins)
