Near the end of the Civil War, the proud residents of Mannon Manor await the return of shipping tycoon Ezra Mannon (Raymond Massey) and son Orin (Dead of Night's Michael Redgrave). Meanwhile Extra's conniving wife Christine (Katina Paxinou) and daughter Lavinia (Rosalind Russell) vie for the love of a handsome captain (Leo Genn) with a dark secret while well-meaning neighbor Peter (Kirk Douglas) sets his sights on Lavinia. Poisoning, infidelity, gunshots and shocking family secrets explode in a haunting climax that will never be forgotten. (official distributor synopsis)
