Need name of a movie

[PaulaTessier]

In 72 or 73 I watched a suspenseful movie I believe was an Alfred Hitchcock film, about a woman who returns to home she grow up in that was filled with bad memories. I remember a doll, and a very strange woman who lived in a silo that over looked the home, and either the strange woman or the woman returning started a fire. If you know what I am talking about please let me know, this has been bothering me for sometime, and I know I am not imagining or making it up. Thanks for you help. Paula Tessier

What about Marnie, with Tippi Hendren and Sean Connery

Was it "The Shuttered Room?" It was on ABC in the early 70s. Seriously creepy. Carol Lynley, Gig Young and Oliver Reed. I found this review on IMDb. Hope this is the one you're looking for:

 

"The Shuttered Room is an entertaining, sporadically suspenseful mystery-chiller which gets great mileage from a clutch of good performances. Out the four leading characters, only Carol Lynley seems misplaced. Gig Young, Flora Robson and Oliver Reed are all spot-on, especially Reed who simply excels as a lecherous thug. The story is atmospheric and unsettling, though the solution at the end resorts to an overused "monster-in-the-closet" explanation, which actually slightly damages the whole movie.

 

Young plays a middle-aged smoothie who has recently wed a much younger blonde bombshell (Lynley). She is amiable enough, but has frequent panic attacks related to something or someone that scared the hell out of her when she was still a baby. Young persuades her to return to the small, isolated community of her birthplace and to re-unite with the old family, hoping that by confronting her past she will be able to find out what caused her trauma and get over it. However, it turns out to be something rather threatening...."
