Crow Hollow (1952)
6/10
The Crows Come Back
25 October 2020
Doctor Donald Houston marries Natasha Parry and brings her back to the family house, Crow's Hollow, to lve with his three aunts. Everyone seems very sweet at first, and then things start happening. Is someone trying to kill her? If so, why?

It's an interesting variation on REBECCA, with the aunts all sounding like Billie Burke being veddy proper and English. Miss Parry seems like a whiny little snip at first. as she takes an instant dislike to the place while patently trying to make an effort to be accommodating, making her certainty about being the target for murder seem a bit less likely. I found Patricia Owens as the maid to be a breath of fresh air; even though she is clearly meant to be seen as a threat, one grows tired of usual servant roles, either Jeeves-like or invisible. She handles it just right.
