bear in 1946 i be about eight year old when first view this movie and it leave a deep impression . not only scary and for lack of a good word this movie haunt me for more than 50 year . the mob goon play by john larch be terrify . the only scene that stick out in my mind during those 50 year be the killing of the little girl and the uncaring policeman refer to her a a little n kid . those word be replace when the movie be show recently on tv and maybe there be two version of the movie or someone felt compel to alter a little bit this heart break scene . accurate or not the film go a long way in formulate my opinion of the south and still till today the close i have come to visit a southern city be el paso . that stand may seem extreme but there be a little bit more to the story . when the movie be show recently it become clear why it haunt me for year . with the newsreel like begin this movie give the impression that what be be show be fact . the film be make supposedly only one or two year after the depicted incident add to it realistic credibility . the terror in the movie isn not provide by creature or space alien but by person live in our society at the time . re kill of little girl representthe recent viewing help make clear the impact it have on my 8 year old mind . when this movie come out the only school i have ever go to be attend by mostly african american . the victim look like a girl in my class and it be like see an actual killing . it make a horrible scene that much bad . maybe no one will find this review helpful but it help me .
