This Victorian thriller is the demoniac story of the
Manninghams of Angel Street. Under the guise of kindliness, handsome
Mr. Manningham (played in the original Broadway production by Vincent
Price) is torturing his wife into insanity. He accuses her of petty
aberrations that he has arranged himself; and since her mother died
of insanity, she is more that half convinced that she, too, is going
out of her mind. While her diabolical husband is out of the house,
a benign police inspector visits her and ultimately proves to her
that her husband is a maniacal criminal suspected of a murder committed
fifteen years ago in the same house, and that he is preparing to dispose
of her. Then starts the game of trying to uncover the necessary evidence
against Mr. Manningham. Get ready for a thrilling and exciting melodramatic
game. |
