The final scene of closing the door on the noose feels like there's more weight to it then we actually got to see.<br /><br />And that's just assuming I remember it right at all. Other than the end all I remember is Kim Hunter asking strangers "have you seen my sister? She looks just like me!" I thought ineffective way of looking for her was planting a seed for Hunter to play dual roles of both sisters and have some M Night Shyamalan style twist about identity or duality or mix up who is who that never came.<br /><br />All the more disappointing since I believe this was Lewton's last produced film.Erik Johnson Illustratorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11184274387021011687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7857882.post-65708923121791117622017-10-08T19:07:25.246-05:002017-10-08T19:07:25.246-05:00Well, that's too bad.

Seems like it has all the elements to be good, just not well done or put together, in the end.Caffeinated Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18116651473308629663noreply@blogger.com
