Film Recommendations - Silmilar to 'Spiral Staircase'


I really enjoyed this movie and was wondering if there are any other movies (from the 40s-50s, preferably) with similar subject matter.

Anyone have any recommendations? :)

It was 1967, but Wait Until Dark with Audrey Hepburn is similar.

Look at my statement on "This was One of the Few" on Spiral's message board and you'll see several.

Let it be unsaid: insignificance is the locus of true increpation.

Different storyline, but "Gaslight" with Ingrid Bergman had a similar feel to it. One of my favorite classic suspense thrillers!

Also, "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" and "Picture of Dorian Gray" were good. Another one that I vaguely remember as being kind of haunting was "A Portrait of Jenny" with Jennifer Jones and Joseph Cotten, but I don't remember much about it.
