Somewhat creaky suspenser in which a wealthy and kind lady (Ethel Barrymore) is grifted by a con artist (Maurice Evans) and his gang of no-goodniks (Angela Lansbury and Keenan Wynn) and winds up a slave in her own bed, forced to do their bidding.
Maurice Evans is cold, calculating, diabolical and obviously VERY sick. Lansbury fairly reprises her performance from "Dorian Gray". Wynn is the bloody-minded company enforcer, with a tendency to want to go off and transform to a killing beast,.
Barrymore is the sweetest old lady possible to be set upon by this pack of jackals. The crooks have nearly milked her dry, managing to trick everyone she knows along the way, till they attempt to sell her mansion on a fashionable London square. It's then that her trusted banker of all these many years smells a rat, and, well, you know the rest
an adequate pastime
