The big problem with this film is the big problem with people - most see only in terms of black and white. Baxter is presented as evil personified and all the other characters as pure, innocent beings who fall victim to her coniving, when in fact, they are all more than ready to believe the worst about Bellamy and McDonald, who, in fact, are not innocent - come on, a live-in model with the body of McDonald and our Vargas-like "artist" beyond suspicion behind closed doors? The psychology here would ... Read More

Evelyn Heath (Anne Baxter) is the house-guest from hell. More precisely, she's the house-guest from the mental ward. She's under the care of young, handsome Dr. Dan Proctor...and they are in love.

What a great and very creepy melodrama! I had thought that Brahm was mainly a movie director but he seems to have gone into TV in the 50s and never looked back.

The quality on that disc is terrible but watchable, so I'd be disappointed if the quality of this individual release ... Read More

Big mistake. Because Douglas is happily married and has the perfect family, he becomes the primary target for Evelyn, who gets pleasure from ruining people's lives. She's neurotic, a little psychotic, and quite seductive, and Doctor Dan is madly in love with her. Evelyn strings him along cruelly but ... Read More

"Guest in the House" belongs to that period in which Hollywood discovered Freud and produced such films as "Spellbound" and "Shadow of a Doubt." But unlike those films, here the Freud is watered down to grade-school level, beginning with another unprofessional shrink who falls in love with the patient.
"Guest in the House" also belongs to the evil-woman sub-genre of Film Noir. The men are generally clueless, easily duped, even stupid, while the women are the real forces in the narrative. As ... Read More
