The Spiral Staircase

One of Dorothy McGuire's greatest performances came about in "The Spiral Staircase". She plays a caretaker for an elderly woman (Ethel Barrymore in an Academy Award-nominated role) amid a series of murders. Director Robert Siodmak uses the sets and camera angles to create a feeling of suspense rarely seen outside a Hitchcock movie. This is probably one of the most disturbing movies that you'll ever see. The 1975 remake is also worth seeing.

A killer who targets women with imperfections is on the loose. Everyone suspects the next victim will be Helen, who is mute and works as a caregiver for a wealthy old woman. Who is the killer and is Helen safe? George Brent stars in this, along with a marvelous cast. I am not familiar with Brent's work, but he was amazing here. And working under Robert Siodmak? What more can you ask for? The Siodmak brothers were a strong force in their day, and sadly forgotten by many today. If you like film noir, thrillers or subtle horror, this film is really a must-see. The title is a tad misleading. Near as I can tell, the spiral staircase plays no important role in the film. But, still, a must-see regardless of title.

I saw this film for the first time in 2015, almost 70 years on from when it was made, it sounds unreal to put it like that. It gets a 10 from me, my interest in the film noir genre is growing and this is definitely one of the best i've seen. The Gothic English setting is perfect, although it has a slightly unclear American/British feel to it. In truth I don't recognise a lot of the cast, I'm of course familiar with Elsa Lanchester, great actress. I can see how Ethel Barrymore was an Oscar nominee for her performance. I have seen the 70's remake, which is quite pale and garish in comparison. A classic glorious film I will be watching again soon. Classic!
