The House on Carroll Street

“Emily Crane left her home one morning and stepped into a nightmare.”

New York, 1951. Emily (Kelly McGillis) has lost her job as a reporter after refusing to name names to the House Un-American Activities Committee, and she takes work as a companion to an old woman, Miss Venable (Jessica Tandy). Through the wall of the neighboring house she hears a loud argument, partly in German, and one of the voices belongs to the man who prosecuted her. Peter Yates keeps her at the window, listening.
