What was up w/the wife taking all the doll parts and jumping into the lake w/them?
I've seen this several times and the film is just one *beep* up movie overall - makes no real sense and in my opinion not well directed even if it is FFC
"I'll have a steak sandwich...and a steak sandwich"
This Wikipedia Page explains the plot of the film really well :

This is a very good film george.schmidt yet it's one of those dramatic 1960's style films that you have to watch more than just once to get the whole " family master plan of who done it and why " .
It took me a couple of times to get what the film was about exactly too .
Thanks george.schmidt for your subject post .
Thanks - still one messed up film
"I'll have a steak sandwich...and a steak sandwich"
Not everyone's cup of tea I guess .
You're most welcome george.schmidt .
Funny - TCM just aired it today
"I'll have a steak sandwich...and a steak sandwich"
I just got through watching this film a few minutes ago on that channel .
If I may ask george.schmidt your signature line seems very familiar - which movie is that from ?
It's from FLETCH
"I'll have a steak sandwich...and a steak sandwich"
Oh that's right ! It's been awhile since I watched that hilarious film with Chevy Chase liked the sequel a lot too .
Will have to watch those movies again soon .
Thanks again george.schmidt .
Now I love this movie watching it over and over without boredom. Luana Anders who played a brunette in "The Pit and the Pendulum" has the perfect persona for this part; innocents and reserve with that touch of sizing people up and personally I really prefer her as a blond. Bottom line: as Louise wanted "in" with Billy's wealthy family for the inheritance, she did her homework and knew his mother, Lady Haloran, still mourned terribly for her drowned daughter who accidentally fell into the Estate pond as a child. So Louise does away with her husband and travels to the Estate ahead of him (so-to-speak) making excuses for his absence. The family's yearly ritual is held to pay respects to the dead girl, and as Louise watches the ceremony from a window she sees Lady Haloran faint. Louise runs to her aid and attends to her personally, pampering, comforting and being very understanding winning over her confidence. Then that night while everyone slept, finding the dead girl's untouched room, Louise takes a few toys, strings them onto a rope. douses the rope with acid and secures it at the bottom of the pond so that eventually the rope will give and the toys will float up to the surface. The next morning at breakfast served outside near the pond, here come the toys - one by one - and witnessed by all including Lady Haloran who took this as a sign that her daughter was trying to communicate. Lady Holoran searches for Louise who cannot be found as she was murdered with an ax when exiting the pond the night before.
This answers your question about the toys but with so many details I think reading the Wicki version is most likely better LOL.
...oops my bad. Louise secures the rope at the bottom of the pond on the property by way of a near by lake, and it is when she is exiting the lake that she gets the ax. The pond on the property sits near the outside table where breakfast is eaten. Scoping out the property, sharp Louise figured out quickly where the pond came up so that she could secure the toys in the precise location for them to rise to the pond's surface. And for more details, reading other posts I was assuming she applied acid to the rope, but what ever it was she certainly knows her chemicals as she was not only lucky enough to find the stuff, knew it would work even under water and knew exactly how much to apply for the duration of when it would finally eat through the rope at the correct moment the next morning. Go Louise! Hopefully I haven't forgotten anything else pertinent to the initial question.
