What to expect
The film turns an old New York house into a social and comic maze. Secret movement through rooms exposes how much respectability depends on who is allowed to enter, hide, or be believed.
How to ease in
The mother’s marriage scheme and Deacon’s burglary converge at the house. Let the mistaken identities accumulate; the architecture keeps the plot readable.
Heads-up
A status-conscious mother tries to prevent her son’s marriage while a burglar, a supposedly haunted house, and several competing schemes disrupt her control.
Everyone believes the address proves something about the people inside it. I enjoy watching doors and hiding places make the house less obedient than its owner.
