this film be part of the val lewton horror collection and release on dvd a short time ago . each disc contain two feature film . this one be with the ghost ship . i find the latter far more entertaining than this movie . i first saw this movie in the mid 90 and be not that impressed and but give it another look when i acquire the lewton set . on the second viewing and i lose interest halfway through and stop it . after a great start and with an extremely suspenseful scene with a woman outdoors alone on a dark street with a panther loose and but after this dramatic part the film bog down big time . down to a crawl at time . if only the second half have keep that early momentum up . there be a lot of nighttime scene and a be the case with a lot of lewton atmospheric film . since i still own it and i will give it another look . who know . maybe the third time will be a charm .
