Audience Member Just read the story. Zero stars. This has never happened before, but I honestly don't have anything positive to say about this film. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member This is the first film I've seen, that is devoid of any atmosphere. It begs the question, why was such an amateur production released as a film? It would probably have done reasonably well adapted for the stage and had more atmosphere, who knows? Gwen Watford made a reasonable career, the only actor in this dreadful film who did. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member An not so engaging adaptation of a an engaging authors work. The low-budget certainly doesn't help, but it's slow and laborious direction for the most part. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member This 1949 low budget production, a "quota quickie", pads the short story with a framing device, and adds a background story involving Rod and Maddy's mother.. I think that even Edgar would b bored. OK sets, but static shots, lifeless performances and dull pacing all interfere with telling the story. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member lame ang feels cheap like a ,made 4 tv pic Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member freaking boring British people.
