Dragonwyck - Vincent Price - Screen Guild Theater

Raised in 1844 Greenwich, Connecticut by her strait-laced parents, Ephraim and Abigail, Miranda Wells is a farm girl who often daydreams of a more romantic and luxurious life outside the farm. Miranda gets her opportunity when her mother receives a letter from their distant cousin Nicholas Van Ryn, a wealthy patroon in Hudson, New York. Miranda manages to convince her parents to let her go to Nicholas's estate of Dragonwyck manor as companion to his eight-year-old daughter Katrine. Over time, Miranda learns that Nicholas and his wife Johanna are estranged from each other and from their daughter.
