★★★★ · Unfinished codicil · Thischarmingwalk · 2025-03-29
A young beautiful heiress has to move out of her home after her father dies. As she's only 16. Unfortunately, it is her uncle (Silas) whom is now her ward until she reaches that magic number of 21 as her father never managed to amend his will in time If she dies before him, her wealth will go to him instead. Mwahhaha! Jean Simmons is very good in this as the victim. The other main characters play their parts ok .Not a bad copy.
