Val Lewton movie and biography

The 7th Victim "He calleth all his children by name." "I run to death, and death meets me as fast, and all my pleasures are like yesterday" ("Holy Sonnet" VII Jonne Donne.) Mary Gibson (Kim Hunter) is called to the office of her boarding school. There she is confronted with the fact that her sister is missing; the person who tells this is Mrs. Lowood (Ottola Nesmith), the person who runs the school. Now, where have we heard the name Lowood before? As you have already guessed, Mary, fearing something is afoot, is compelled to locate her sister Jacqueline (Jean Brooks). On her quest, she meets various characters, all wanting to help her. We must guess whether they are good guys or have nefarious motives. One such character is Doctor Louis Judd (Tom Conway's same name and a similar character used in "Cat People"). Will Mary find her sister? On the way, will Mary find true love, at what cost? Why the seventh victim, who were the other six? Yes, I know this is a Val Lewton production, and if it is his best or worst, this film has his signature of being more psychological than supernatural. That is why this film is more than just a whodunit. ----------------------------------------------------------------- "Shadows in the Dark" This is more of a Val Lewton biography with more emphasis on his producer years.
