WHITE VIOLETS

by Edward Crandall ‧ RELEASE DATE: Feb. 3, 1953

A corsage of festering pride and hatred has an almost overpowering fragrance- and tells of Mrs. Porter, lonely in her Newport mansion where Helen Stone comes- as her secretary. The contemptuous servility of her butler; the parasitic deference of permanent houseguests; the unanswered questions in the death of Helen's predecessor and her attraction to the same young man- all builds to the returns of Mrs. Potter's husband and a vicious retaliation. As you can see, this has everything for entertainment, a little less for believability.
