This gothic noirish tale is very interesting for several reasons. It portrays mental illness of the sort that in rich people may be called eccentricity, but in poor people over a hundred years ago are grounds for institutionalization. Things like OCD behavior, hoarding, mild delusion. Enough that people complain about you and you cannot live within the usual framework of society without family support.

If your family is Ida Lupino and she works for a retired actress in a big house you’ll be alright.
This is a really good movie, highly recommended.
