Viewing Notes

Kicked off movie night with this strange little murder mystery from England’s Amicus. The plot felt a little disjointed but the set design is great and Margaret Johnston gives a suitably unhinged/over-the-top performance as the wheelchair-bound Mrs. Von Sturm who may not be all there mentally and may or may not actually be wheelchair-bound.
