The House on Telegraph Hill
The House on Telegraph Hill
After barely surviving a Nazi concentration camp, Victoria assumes the identity of a friend who died there. She arrives in San Francisco to see "her" son just as the boy's great-aunt dies leaving him a large inheritance. Victoria falls in love with the boy's trustee, Alan Spender, and moves with him into the aunt's mansion on Telegraph Hill. However, she finds that living life under an assumed identity is fraught with pitfalls.

Way too high brow - with folks wearing tuxedos and gowns to dinner and being filthy rich - to really satisfy my noir itch. So much so that I question if anyone in San Fransisco lived like that in the 40s.
Lush but way too soapy. Imagine how famous a house like that would be looking over all of the city with cliff drop offs like a vampire castle.
