[1] The supporting cast features Regis Toomey and Julie Bishop.

The film, which includes a rare leading role for Patrick who played the supporting part of Sam Spade's secretary in The Maltese Falcon that same year, is a remake of the film Miss Pinkerton and is based on the 1932 novel Miss Pinkerton by Mary Roberts Rinehart.

[2] Rinehart wrote a series of novels based on the character Hilda Adams.

A nurse (Lee Patrick) moves into a mansion after an apparent suicide to care for the old mother.

The mother is kind of spooky, but so is the butler, and the girlfriend, and the doctor.
