The House of the Angel

1957 · 76 min · ★ 7.2 · Drama

A young teen has been raised by a despotic mother overcome with religious zeal and a father who rules over the household with a heavy, iron hand. Forcibly kept innocent of the sexual nuances of some adult relationships, she is not too clear on her rights, his intentions, or the consequences when her father's best friend starts to lust after her.
