A struggling London office worker, Carol Howard, wins the French lottery and
makes plans to travel the world, unaware of the horrific fate which awaits her.
Dashing Gerald Lovell inquires about renting her flat and Carol finds herself
drawn to him. Romance develops and the couple are wed, but Gerald begins to
reveal a dark and sinister side, spending hours alone in the cellar and
forbidding Carol to enter. Much to her horror, Carol uncovers evidence that her
husband may be a deranged serial killer.
Based on a play by Frank Vosper and a short story by Agatha Christie, Love
From A Stranger is a fast-paced, nail-biting suspense drama made in England
under the taut direction of Rowland V. Lee. Basil Rathbone, best known for his
portrayal of Sherlock Holmes in the years that followed, gives one of his most
dynamic and memorable performances, deftly capturing his character?s transition
from debonair gentleman to demonic maniac. Rathbone and Lee would reunite two
years later for Universal Pictures' classic thrillers, Son Of Frankenstein and
Tower Of London.
Starring: Basil Rathbone Directed by: Rowland V. Lee Screenplay by: Francis Marion
