PENELOPE

Yes, that's the one! Your turn!

I'll be back later with a new spoiler.

It always warms my heart to find someone else who knows about this not very well-known gem.
It is probably my favorite Natalie Wood movie although I understand that she was not doing well personally when she was making PENELOPE.

I've known about it for quite a while. i think I mentioned before that I didn't get access to TCM until 2011. And I recall being at home during the day in November 2011, on the day after Thanksgiving, and I watched the film because it was on, and I fell for it hook, line, and sinker. It's just a fun film, with Natalie's most engaging performance, and that's enough to make me overlook one or two scenes that don't work. It was definitely hard though for me to find that they hadn't released it on any home viewing format, so I had to wait until Warner Archive rolled out a copy in 2020 to actually have a copy of the film.

Kind Hearts and Coronets?

I see where you going with this, but that is not the movie.
I think the "valuable item" from KINDS AND HEARTS AND CORONETS that you're thinking of is the suicide note that will clear Louis (the killer) of the murder of someone that he didn't actually kill. The suicide note is not in the killer's possession during the entire killing spree.

Since you made a guess though, you've earned a hint

All the victims' remains are discovered the same day. The valuable item has monetary value.

Holden, time for a new clue, thanks
