David K I saw this film at apparently the same showing on TCM that the other member of the Great Unwashed did (Noir Alley, TCM, June 8, 2024). Both films, introduced (and restored, for that matter in part by Eddie Muller's Film Noir Foundation) by Eddie. What a real treat. Suspense is the key word in both this film and "Never Open That Door", which preceded it on the double bill feature. If you come across it and you love mysteries and suspense, definitely see it. You won't be disappointed. Both films can stand with Hitchcock in his prime. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/11/24 Full Review Morvia 8thsin/ 3 The movie is done with accuracy/exact throughout where the story and film are merged towards the viewer. The films scenes are exact/accurate in detailing the example where the boy in fruition to young man was in his room and all the footsteps and sound leading to opening the room can be in detail heard. The film in observance portrays living experiences from generational occupation as the father became part of the police force from his father while the son goes through a life experience based on the occupations of parentage. The film was rated PG but according to the films introduction remarks by Muller on TCM that many had nightmares about this film and was forgotten as a result in which was restored as the film indicates by UCLA. The film has to be rated at least TV-14 to R and should be noted as a film with adult content featuring innocent children which lends to the "once in a lifetime" viewing experience as the film portrays the subject matter as serious towards this innocence.
