I've always loved the over-the-top theatricality of the performances in this film. The four leading actors, Nancy Kelly, Patty McCormack, Eileen Heckart and Henry Jones all created their roles in the Broadway stage version, and I don't think they toned down their portrayals one iota for the film version. Their intense manner and melodramatic aesthetic lend a palpable air of hysteria to the movie, and make it absolutely riveting to watch. One of my favorites.

@@bobbyfrancis8957 She may not have realized that Rhoda actually killed Claude, but I think by that point she had a pretty clear idea of Rhoda's overall malevolent nature. One of Rhoda's most telling lines, IMO, is her response to Mrs. Daigle's grief at losing Claude. "If she wants a boy so much, why doesn't she go to the orphans' home and adopt one?" It really showed that Rhoda had no concept of the idea of love and human bonding and attachment - the hallmark characteristic of a sociopath, according to a book I read. Sociopaths can do anything because they can't truly care about others in a human, meaningful way.
