I'm slowly catching up with all the Val Lewton produced/RKO 1940's horror movies, I think I only have one or 2 left. This is a solid entry, not as tense or atmospheric as I Walked With a Zombie or The Leopard Man, but still a typically tightly structured and entertaining horror/thriller, with a memorable Karloff performance to boot.
I taped this one of TCM, and wouldn't you guess it, just like with Jules and Jim, the recording cut off the last minute or so, I didn't see the ending and had to look it up. A damn, annoying shame.

The same thing happened to me when I recorded Jules and Jim! I had to rush out to the video store to see the ending, and what an ending it was too!
I had seen JULES AND JIM before, but Shenan hadn't, so she didn't understand why I was insistent that we rent it immediately. The last 2 minutes are a game changer.
yeah and one of your friends (i forget who now) told me the ending over AIM because i had my frustration over the cut-off as an away message.
