Tuesday, May 7 - Torment

Paper Gallows (1950) Torment (original title)

A story of two brothers, both writers of crime novels, one a fine, upstanding gentleman and the other a moody, neurotic, psychopath. The other is determined to create a 'faked' version of a perfect crime he intends to commit when an ex-convict visits them. They are both in love with their shared-stenographer-secretary.

Two brothers are novelists sharing a big house and a secretary. They are both writing murder mysteries. John Bentley is in love with the Secretary Rona Anderson.Dermot. Walsh is too, only she doesn't love him. Unfortunately Dermot is barking mad. We know this because not only does he kill a visiting ex convict but also the family cat.
