SYNOPSIS:
The Manningham residence appears to be the essence of Victorian tranquility, but it is soon apparent, that Mr. Manningham, a suavely handsome man, is slowly driving his
gentle, devoted wife, Bella, to the brink of insanity with an insinuating kindness that masks more sinister motives. While
he is out, Mrs. Manningham has an unexpected caller: amiable, paternal Inspector Rough from Scotland Yard... who tells her troubling news about her husband. This mystery thriller has some of the most brilliant, suspenseful sequences in modern theatre.
