Kim Hunter credited as playing...
Mary Gibson
- Gregory Ward: I love your sister, Mary. I love her very much. It's easy to understand now, isn't it? A man would look for her anywhere, Mary. There's something... exciting and unforgettable about Jacqueline. Something you never... quite get hold of. Something that keeps a man following after her.
- Mary Gibson: Because I loved Jacqueline I thought I knew her. Today I found out such strange things, frightening things. I saw a hangman's noose that Jacqueline had hanging... waiting.
- Gregory Ward: Well, at least I can explain about that. Your sister had a feeling about life; that it wasn't worth living unless one could end it. I helped her get that rope.
- Jason Hoag, Poet: I'm under orders to make you laugh. In Mrs. Romari's mind, poetry and humor has some strange affinity, which they don't have in fact. She wants me to play the fool for you but... suddenly Miss Gibson, I feel as sad as you do.
- Mary Gibson: Well, then, I've spoiled your dinner. Your food won't digest and your wine will sour.
- Mary Gibson: He was a kind little man in his way. I made him go down that hall into the darkness. I made him do it.
- Mary Gibson: It's always seemed to me that she was sort of lonely and unhappy.
- Frances Fallon: Well, Mary, I guess most people are.
