The Lady in Black (1958, Sweden)
Original title: Damen i svart
A former policeman, Captain Hillman, runs a private detective agency together with his wife Kajsa and his assistant Freddy. After finishing another case, the couple decide to accept an invitation from Kajsa’s friend, Inger von Schilden, and spend vacation in her estate. Inger is married to Christian, heir of a wealthy family, who owns a local mill. Lately, their marriage was on the rocks - they received an offer to sell the mill and Inger was in favour of accepting it, but Christian didn’t want to hear of it. To make things worse, a young woman, who worked in the mill recently disappeared, that’s why Inger was anxious to bring the Hillmans, who might find out what happened to the missing woman.
On the first night, the Hillmans learn about the local superstition, The Lady in Black, who mysteriously appears when something bad is about to happen. Some of the locals say they saw the Lady in Black just before the disappearance of the young woman and are convinced that the two events are somehow linked. Soon the Hillmans get to know some of the family members, who all seem to have something to hide, and it is up to their detective instincts to find out what. And then, Christian is killed by the Lady in Black...
Classic Swedish mystery and crime film, first of five made with Captain Hillman as the main character. While the pacing is not impressive for a modern audience, the atmosphere and good old-fashioned mystery looming over the wealthy family keeps the viewers guessing right until the end.
