George Sanders is John "Uncle Harry" Quincey, a mild-mannered bachelor secretly chafing at the bit under the constant attentions of his two sisters, Lettie and Hester. When they contrive to thwart his marriage to "another woman," the battle that has been played out for years on a psychological level finally leads to murder. A powerful incestual tension between the attractive and possessive Lettie (Geraldine Fitzgerald) and the pathetically repressed brother John made this film ripe for the censors, and a "happy ending" in which John awakens from the whole awful nightmare was tacked on. The fact of the dream, of course, reveals John to be a most disturbed psyche, indeed, so the censors had rendered the film no less complex. Even with this coda, tonight's print--not the heavily edited and narrated version seen in recent years, but a restored original from the UCLA Archives--beautifully confirms Robert Siodmak as an imaginative thinker and stylist, and Uncle Harry as a neglected gem of the film noir era.
