i kinda like this film maybe it be the cast more than anything . the script be a bit lame @ x . the author son make some comment that indicate that the book be deep or something but when a book be sell to hollywood the author give up ownership and so to speak . this film come out in 1950 and 57 year later the son still sound sore . meanwhile and the book be like totally unavailable so a modern viewer of the film would be hard press to make comparison . anyhow and i think that farley granger do an excellent job ( despite his negative view on the film ) . also excellent be paul stewart and mala powes and robert keith . joan evans be give nothing to do and dana andrew be good but the character be not write well .
