      Audience Member A lot here depends on the (perky, plucky) personality of the (nurse/detective) heroine--more annoying than attractive to me. And on the (creepy) atmosphere of the home and its inhabitants--also annoying (more than frightening). A mystery not worth all the mystery (nor all the screaming). Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Standard B enlivened by the wonderful Joan Blondell Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
