- Synopsis:
Della Chappel (Joan Crawford), the reclusive, wealthy matriarch of Royal Bay, watches over the affluent Californian coastal town with an all-seeing, proprietorial eye -because she owns so much of its real estate. Possession, for her, is everything - and if Chappel's home is her castle then her precious, zealously sheltered daughter Jenny is her chattel and she will relinquish not one iota of control... What Della sees as protection, the townspeople see as repression.and when local lawyer Burke requests an audience, hoping to buy back some of the town for the people, he's summoned to the house at the dead of night and meets Jenny, who's never met a young man of her own age. Battling a fatal eye disease, she now also has to fight strange new stirrings she's never felt before. But Della is implacable. She resists the land purchase as she resists her daughter's blossoming potential for love. Never a smile parts Della's cold lips; never a tear wets those unblinking eyes - until now as it seems her iron grip on her beloved daughter and on the townspeople will end in tears. - Actors:
