The Inheritance (aka Uncle Silas)

In the mid-19th century, teenage orphan Carolyn Ruthyn (Jean Simmons) was bound into the care of her dissipated uncle Silas (Derrick de Marney). Unfortunately, her father's will provided that Silas would claim the substantial estate if she died before reaching her majority...and the old roué, his oafish son (Manning Whiley) and Carolyn's cruel ex-governess (Katina Paxinou) are conspiring to ensure that happens. Atmospheric take on Sheridan Le Fanu's "Uncle Silas" co-stars Derek Bond, Esmond Knight. AKA: "Uncle Silas." 103 min. Standard; Soundtrack: English.
