A young man (Burgess Meredith), returns to New York City 15 years after his father (John Carradine) was tried and executed for a murder he did not commit. His search to find the real killers brings him to the slums of the city, where he falls in love witha young girl, Marianne (Margo), and uncovers the truth he's been searching for his entire life.Adapted from the Broadway play by Maxwell Anderson ("Key Largo," "The Bad Seed"), and nominated for two Academy Awards, Winterset is a moody journey into the dark arms of malice, murder and retribution. A rain-drenched testament to the tortured human condition.
