| User ReviewJames BThis was a great movie. A Black & White Suspense film, someone is poisoning the kids. But old Cam (Joseph Cotton) knows who the guilty person is. About 3/4 into the movie I am wondering if I picked the right person. In the bitter end and I do mean bitter end the truth surfaces, but I think a sequel could have easily been made for this one, as the finger could have pointed to Cam very easy. Add this one to the collection, 4 stars for sure |
| User ReviewSteve SNot a great film, but a fast moving and entertaining one. Joseph Cotten gives his usual nuanced performance and Jean Peters steals the show as a women suspected of murdering a child. No suprises here, but still intriguing. |
