As Aunt Alice, Ruth Gordon applies for the job of housekeeper in the Tucson, Arizona home of widow Claire Marrable (Geraldine Page) in order to find out what happened to a missing widowed friend, Edna Tilsney (Mildred Dunnock). The crazed Page, left only a stamp album by her husband, takes money from her housekeepers, kills them, and buries the bodies in her garden. Alice is a widow too. So is neighbor Harriet Vaughn (Rosemary Forsyth). Lots of widows here. Written by alfiehitchie
