Bonnie marries Dave (James MacArthur) and while visiting her childhood home, which has been closed for some time, her mother arrives, confronting the two lovers. Unbeknownst to Dave, Bonnie is underage...so the mother (Gloria Swanson) announces she's having the marriage annulled, as she thinks Dave is only interested in Bonnie because of her fortune. However, she can't stop Bonnie once she hits 18...but she can keep the money in trust until she's 25...and she assumes Dave will not be willing to wait. What's next and what is the locked door?
This is quite a tense, melodramatic thriller with a good performance from James MacArthur as Dave, a poor guy. You're not quite sure whether he's genuine in his love for Bonnie. But you do sense something is off with him. Lynn Loring is sweet and perfect as the naive Bonnie. But, of course, Gloria Swanson ( every guy's dream mother-in-law) totally steals the scene, and that last scene is quite chilling as she shuts the door.
