Movie Info

When aging art collector Mary Herries (Ethel Barrymore) invites struggling young painter Henry Elcott (Maurice Evans) and his ailing wife, Ada (Betsy Blair), into her home, she little suspects their plan. Henry holds Mary hostage in her own home, posing as her nephew, and telling everyone she's suffered a breakdown. To complete the ruse, he brings in another couple (Angela Lansbury, Keenan Wynn) to pose as maid and butler while he sells off all of Mary's priceless artworks.

Audience Reviews for Kind Lady

Oct 16, 2013

Atmospheric, disturbing drama with excellent actors giving terrific performances. Ethel holds the screen with a sure command even when she's being menaced.
