the man in black (1950)

aka Man In Black.
"People like us don't commit murder."
Bertha Clavering (Betty Ann Davies) has her world turned upsidedown when her wealthy husband dies. For instead of inheriting all his money, her step-daughter Joan (Hazel Penwarden) is named heir to the estate, but Bertha, and her daughter Janice (Sheila Burrell), have no intention of letting Joan enjoy her new found wealth.
This thriller betrays its BBC Radio play origins, being overly talkie, but does have a twist in the tale.
