The Man in Black (1949)



After the death of her yogi father during a freak "yoga accident", a young woman returns home to her widowed and suddenly very wealthy step-mother who is conspiring with her own daughter to drive the girl insane and deprive her of her rightful inheritance.

Entertaining thriller with a slight touch of Goth enlivens its simple plot with some nice twists.

Maltin**1/2: "Clever little thriller with some surprises and a rare noncomic role for James."
