When the unseen "Mr. Marrable" dies, his widow

When the unseen "Mr. Marrable" dies, his widow (Geraldine Page) finds that her husband's death has left her broke so she must find means to continue to thrive. To that end, she invites a succession of older ladies, widows and spinsters mainly, to come and be her companion at her desert home. Over time, each one disappears just as a nice new conifer appears in her garden. Ruth Gordon ("Mrs. Dimmock") - the eponymous aunt - is the latest to arrive, along with her reported $46,000 which tantalises our rather mercenary hostess and we expect the usual course of action to repeat itself once again. Well it turns out that "Dimmock" isn't so naive as her predecessors and was, indeed, a friend of one of them - and so she is suspicious... Will she go the way of the others? Page is quite good as the maniacal "Marrable" at the start of the film, but as it progresses the sense of menace becomes more one of comedy - she overplays the part with an almost theatrical hamminess and what plausibility there was in the plot gradually ebbs into silliness. There are too many close ups - especially of Gordon - trying to create a sense of suspense and fear, but they really only serve to slow what pace this has to almost walking speed before an ending that I felt pretty obvious. Essentially just a two hander, it passes the time well enough - but it is lacking in subtlety and wears thin quite quickly.

Creepy Woman

After the death of her husband, the widow Clare Marrable (Geraldine Page) finds he has lost his fortune in bad investments and receives only a briefcase with a rusted dagger, a butterfly collection and a stamp collection. Completely broken, Clare moves to Tucson, Arizona where her unknown nephew George Lawson (Peter Brandon) gives an isolated house in the desert for her to live. Clare poses as if she has investments and kills her lonely housekeepers to steal their money. Then she buries their bodies in her garden and plants pine trees on their graves. After killing the housekeeper Miss Edna Tinsley (Mildred Dunnock), Clare receives the application of the mysterious Alice Dimmock (Ruth Gordon) that snoops around her house to investigate the disappearance of Tinsley helped by Mike Darrah (Robert Fuller). Meanwhile George leases an empty cottage in front of Clare's house to lodge his friend Harriet Vaughn (Rosemary Forsyth) and her ten year-old son. What will Clare do?

"What Ever Happened to Aunt Alice?" is a suspenseful film with a creepy woman. The evil Clare Marrable is one of the scariest serial-killer in the cinema history and Geraldine Page has a top-notch performance, supported by a great cast composed by the veteran actresses Ruth Gordon and Mildred Dunnock. The ironic conclusion is perfect to the story. My vote is seven.

Title (Brazil): "A Mansão dos Desaparecidos" ("The Mansion of the Missing Ones")
