Night Must Fall

This psychological thriller, first presented in 1935, has terrified and thrilled Broadway and London audiences for decades, and has been adapted to film three times. When the imperious, embittered Mrs. Bramson learns that her young maid Dora is pregnant, she summons the child’s presumed father to her bungalow. The young man, Dan, is charming but mysterious. Could he be responsible for the recent murder and beheading of a local woman, and could Mrs. Bramson be his next victim? Skillfully, Dan insinuates himself into Mrs. Bramson’s affections and attempts to seduce her skeptical niece, Olivia. Despite strong suspicions of Dan’s intentions, Olivia finds herself attracted to, and fascinated by, the young man.
