Kind Lady 1951 N/R, 80 min. Genre: Mystery
Director: John Sturges Cast: Ethel Barrymore, Maurice Evans, Angela Lansbury, Keenan Wynn, Betsy Blair, John Williams, Doris Lloyd, John O'Malley, Henri Letondal
Mary Herries is a kind old woman. And rich. Along comes painter Henry Elcott, who enters her home after demonstrating his painting skills. But, of course, he is after her money. A good update of the 1936 film, partly because the author of the original play, Edward Chodorov, coscripted this tale.
