Kind Lady (1935 film)

Kind Lady is a 1935 American drama film directed by George B. Seitz starring Aline MacMahon, Basil Rathbone and Mary Carlisle.

It is based on the play of the same name by Edward Chodorov and a short story called The Silver Mask by Hugh Walpole.

Wealthy and charitable Mary Herries (Aline MacMahon) is tricked by aspiring artist Henry Abbott (Basil Rathbone) into letting him and ill wife Ada (Justine Chase) stay in her stately home.

Days turn into weeks, making Mary and housemaid Rose (Nola Luxford) increasingly anxious for everyone to leave.

Outsiders are told that Mary has gone on holiday to America and won't return for a long time.
