The Spiral Staircase
5:15 a.m. on TCM
Silence is more suspenseful than golden for a mute servant (a beguiling Dorothy McGuire) who may be the next target of a killer in director Robert Siodmak's masterful two-hour-long 1946 thriller. The chills lie in whether the heroine will be able to warn anyone else of the imminent danger once she determines who the murderer is. George Brent, Ethel Barrymore, Rhonda Fleming and Elsa Lanchester co-star.
