Beyond The Door

When Celia (Joan Bennett, Scarlet Street) marries architect Mark Lamphere (Michael Redgrave, The Lady Vanishes) after a whirlwind romance, life seems blissful – but all is not as it appears. Her husband’s mansion contains re-creations of rooms in which infamous murders took place and his previous wife died in strange circumstances. Is the young bride’s imagination overactive, or do the opulent walls hide a sinister secret – and why is one room always kept locked?

"Walking through the door is a whole world, but, in fact, you just have to take a step."

The behavior of Mark Lamphere, an architect, turns strange shortly after his honeymoon with bride Celia, who begins finding out that Mark has many secrets. It turns out he was married before, his wife died suspiciously and they have a son. He also has a fiercely loyal secretary, Miss Robey, whose face is disfigured. Mark appears to be somewhat delusional and could be intending to murder Celia inside a room he keeps locked. The disturbed Miss Robey ends up setting fire to the house, whereupon Mark redeems himself by saving Celia's life.

When a lovely wife and her new husband, settle in an ancient mansion on the East coast, she discovers he may want to kill her.
