01 / THE STORY
A little about the film.
Philip Waverton (Raymond Massey), his wife Margaret (Gloria Stuart), and their friend Roger Penderel (Melvyn Douglas) are lost while driving at night in a heavy storm. They come upon an old house in the Wales countryside where they receive shelter by Horace Femm (Ernest Thesiger) and his sister Rebecca (Eva Moore). Horace fears that the storm will trap the guests inside while warning them that their mute butler Morgan (Boris Karloff) is a dangerous heavy drinker. Rebecca escorts Margaret to a bedroom to change clothes, and tells her about the Femm family, which Rebecca says was sinful and godless; she accuses Margaret of being sinful as well. Rebecca reveals that her 102-year-old father, Sir Roderick Femm (Elspeth Dudgeon), still lives in the house.
