{"product_id":"cause-for-alarm","title":"Cause For Alarm","description":"Madness lurks in the upstairs bedroom of homemaker Ellen Brown's seemingly calm, well-manicured suburban home. There, her husband George descends into a dark world of dementia brought on by a heart condition. Ellen's life becomes a living hell as she tries to keep their marriage alive, accommodating his every need. Convinced that his pretty wife and his doctor are plotting to kill him, George concocts a list of evidence along with a letter for the district attorney disclosing his suspicions. Unknowingly, she mails the incriminating letter. During a fit of rage, George pulls a gun, but is killed in the ensuing struggle. When Ellen realizes the content of the letter she has mailed, she must find a way to retrieve it or face a murder charge.\nCause For Alarm!, dark and sinister in its theme, paints a powerful portrait of paranoia and fear in the unusually bright and cheerful setting of middle-class America. Tay Garnett, who also directed The Postman Always Rings Twice in 1946, delivers a taut suspenseful tale that is a dramatic tour-de-force for actress Loretta Young (in a role originally considered for Judy Garland). Although a successful box-office film for MGM at the time, Cause For Alarm! was one of Young's last movies before she launched a successful television career. Young and director Garnett would reunite for her series, \"A Letter For Loretta,\" which earned her three Emmy awards. Look for a cameo performance by Our Gang member Carl \"Alfalfa\" Switzer.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B0009OL92A\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.B0009OL92A.N\u003cbr\u003eCondition: New\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Loretta Young|Barry Sullivan|Margalo Gillmore|Bruce Cowling|Irving Bacon|Georgia Backus|Don Haggerty|Richard Anderson|Art Baker|Brad Morrow|Tay Garnett\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Dvd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Dream Books Co.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41406694326330,"sku":"DBV.B0009OL92A.N","price":14.03,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/6011\/0138\/files\/B0009OL92A-0.jpg?v=1778609242","url":"https:\/\/shop.dreambooksco.com\/products\/cause-for-alarm","provider":"Dream Books Co.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
