Synopsis

Victoria Winters:
My name is Victoria Winters. On the surface, the day at Collinwood seems calm and serene. Nothing could be more normal than my preparing to teach a young boy his school lessons. Yet there is an undercurrent—a tension that is felt everywhere, a tension that reaches out and builds and waits to break free.

Notes

  • The Collinsport Fly can be seen flying around the drawing room while Constable Carter asks his questions.

Bloopers and Changes

  • The following exchange occurred between Roger and Elizabeth as Vicki was heading for the garage with the constable:

Roger: "Are you going to stay here?"

Elizabeth: "No."

She then shuts the door. Presumably, Roger's line was supposed to be something like, "Are you going to come with us?"
