| Classic Film and TelevisionMichael E. GrostInventive crime thriller full of personal touches and a gripping story. |
| Turner Classic Movies OnlineSean Axmaker... a minor but impressive showpiece: crisply directed, smartly shot, handsomely mounted. |
| Scene-Stealers.comEric MelinIt may not fit the typical mode of a film noir (no detectives, femme fatales, not an urban setting), but its certainly shot like one and it wastes no time - it's a brisk, thrilling movie. |
| User ReviewMiguel AJoseph H. Lewis tem muito bem calibrados todos os seus recursos - incluindo um elenco fantástico e uma banda-sonora que não nos larga os nervos - neste senhor thriller, que, à semelhança de "The Big Combo", é um série-B capaz de envergonhar muitos filmes feitos com meios bem superiores. "My Name is Julia Ross" vai directo ao assunto, não tem 2 minutos a mais que seja e deixa uma vontade enorme de ver tudo o que há de Joseph H. Lewis. |
| User ReviewAdam DActress Nina Foch is excellent in this 1945 film noir a movie that Alfred Hitchcock could have made but did not. |
| User ReviewTom RKiller find on Turner Classic Movies. Goth-noir thriller about a young woman from London (Foch), desperate for work, that answers a job ad and winds up not only as a live-in employee but as a shut-in, miles from London and kept there by 'her family'. Creepy through-out with very good acting all around especially by Nina Foch. |
| User ReviewChristopher SSolid B-movie psycho-thriller from director Joseph H. Lewis. Taut and sharply-crafted, Lewis once again manages some effective atmosphere on a low budget. Nina Foch is a bit over the top in the lead, but Dame May Whitty and George Macready are effective villains. Hard to find, but worth seeking out for fans of classic thrillers. |
| User Reviewcody fInteresting little British film about a woman kidnapped by a old lady and her psychotic son. At times very suspenseful, but gets a little hokey at the end. Good acting all around and George Macready is great as a knife wielding bad tempered maniac. It's a good story, but the film is just a hour and 10 minutes and at times a little rushed. |
| User ReviewRachel BFor fans of Hitchcock-style suspense melodramas, and the woman's films of the 1940s, this film is a must see. It's not Hitchcockian in technique so much as mood and psychology. In fact, there's nothing special about it in terms of technique, but it's a really interesting little film. |
