Would you stay in the house?


If you'd rented a house like that, and had all your servants save for 2, walk out on you and then you found out it was from strange goings-on in the house, that included a man without a face who was wanted for several murders, would you stay? When I was little, I always thought I'd love to be in a house like that, and I think I would stay, to get to the bottom of whatever was going on.

I'd buy that house! That's a selling point to me!
And I just saw this film for the first time today, and I LOVE it! GREAT "whodunit" movie! Lots of fun... And Darla Hood grew up to be a lil' hottie!

My, you're nosey, aren't you?

I probably would had an heart attack from so much laughing. This "whodunit" is ridiculous!

You know, while watching this movie, it didn't occur to me that they should just leave the house.

I guess that's a quick solution, but I would be scared to leave the house without knowing who the villain was and if he/she was going to come after me in my new abode.

The fact that Cornelia and Lizzie stayed says a lot about Cornelia's character and Lizzie's total loyalty to her.

BTW I was delighted the heroine was named Cornelia as that is my real name.
