The movie stars Teresa Wright as a small-town girl who is overjoyed when her family receives a visit from her beloved Uncle Charlie. Soon, however, she begins to suspect that her uncle is a serial murderer. Joseph Cotton stars as “Uncle Charlie,” and others in the cast include Patricia Collinge, Henry Travers, Macdonald Carey, and Hume Cronyn.
