Jane Wyman plays drama student Eve Gill, who tries to clear a friend being framed for murder by becoming the maid of flamboyant stage star Charlotte Inwood. Filming in his native England, Hitchcock merrily juggles elements of hunour and whodunit and puts a game ensemble through it's paces. No one turns a theatre into a bastion of drea like Hitchcock and Stage Fright is proof positive.
