Notice how after the wife died, there is a lingering shot on the oleander.
A Belladona. A Tolstoy gun on the wall if ever.

Jeff gave up too quickly! He should visit her home, her father would recognize his value.

He kinda got boxed in though. Never mess with Revere when she's the mother/wife.

I don't think I've ever seen her younger.

Jessica Tandy as Peggy the crippled maid.
I don't think I've ever seen her younger. She started in British films in the 1930s, but I haven't seen her work from that earlier phase of her career.
Soon after completing work on Dragonwyck, Tandy was cast as Blanche in the original Broadway production of A Streetcar Named Desire.

Now that his son won't live, will he lock himself away in the tower room for awhile to, ahem, "read"...?

The production code got in the way of our seeing what really happens up in the tower room.

She should've chosen the good doctor, not the drug-addicted patroon.
