In this by-the-numbers thriller released two years after Rebecca, two teachers hike the Yorkshire Moors hoping to learn what became of their missing, presumed dead teacher friend and when they stumble across James Mason's brooding Heathcliff-/Maximilian de Winter-type residing in a lonely mansion, they start to get dangerously close to solving the mystery: there's something loopy about him, he madly fondles a gun at night, and he broods like he is tormented by a boatshed argument with his first wife.
