Love from a Stranger ~1937 -BW

QUICKIE: Carol wins the lottery and unknowingly marries a psycho-killer.

PLOT: (from IMDB): Carol (Ann Harding) wins the lottery, but unfortunately her sudden wealth leads to a disagreement with her fiancé Ronald (Bruce Seton), and the two break up. Carol quickly falls in love with the romantic and mysterious Gerald (Basil Rathbone), and marries him despite the warnings of her friends. It is not long before Carol begins to see that Gerald is disturbed and perhaps even dangerous, and she soon realizes that she is in great peril.

SUMMARY: As phenomenal as Basil Rathbone was as Sherlock Holmes, he is even better playing a villian! Creepy and scary. This was a great film and Basil steals the show. All ends well, of course, as the psychos always die in the end.
