Roman Polanski's The Tenant combines horror with a slyly wicked sense of humor. As the file clerk Trelkovsky, Polanski rents a decrepit, barren flat from concierge Shelley Winters and landlord Melvyn Douglas. The flat's previous occupant, a young girl, had leaped to her death from its window. Trelkovsky inherits not only her apartment but her best friend, who appears to bring light into the increasingly dark situation. Are his fellow tenants in a conspiracy to drive Trelkovsky to suicide?
