Rocco dude….the films….thankyou…..but ..the photo….i mean…im sure your fit n all …but…. its creeping us out….sorry.
Interesting movie.
Is there any way I could could get 1hr 13mins+3secs of my life back? Please!!! 🙁 I'll go back in time and you guys can warm me not to watch this ever!!!!!! movie sucked a big pickle with NO juice!!
i would like to put a translation to the video into arabicas we can see the films,thanx
Ida Lupino and Howard Duff were married in real life.
"Why are these films so dark.?" One viewer asks. Can you say film NOIR? The moody tones echo the murky plots.
Hokey angelic choir is distracting
A bad movie just all bad elements echoing, Idas voice, her appearance, everything combined into a bad movie just one of those things.
ridiculous, over the top melodrama.
Much ado about less than nothing.
Could do away with that corny music. 10:20. Music can make or break a movie.
A nice enough film. Good acting and was suspenseful but the ending. What a huge let down. Still…I've seen worse. This rates a B minus.
No big finish…Stupid ending.
She was much better in her film-noir roles, and also as a director. Anyone remember the 50's TV show "Mr. Adams Eve". She & Howard Duff played man & wife on that.
Enjoyed Thank you.
I only kept watching because Ida Lupino was in it.
IT WASNT AS BAD AS THE COMMENTS LED ME TO BELIEVE. It held my interest. The music was way over done. But the acting/ story were fine. Worth watching if u turn down volume of music parts. I am glad I watched it.??
Classics are over the top drama, that is what makes it compelling.
I didn't understand the ending but could have been a great Hitchcock ending , can't elaborate without spolier
The comments below are way more annoying than anything in this movie; So they overdid the musical drama, even Bette Davis complained about the overkill music in "Now, Voyager" just go with it , sheesh, better than the boom boxes in the car next to me at a red light…. Youngsters, I am thinking… also, regarding the one mass commentarial confusion below,: my reply is "Cool lookin'" photography!!" & for any answers at all regarding the latter: "Only the Shadow Knows!"…. does anyone have any imagination out there? or artistry for that matter? or sheer wonder, ? I enjoyed it just fine, especially just imagining that huge place & living there, ooh, shudder, & wondering: Is he fiend or friend?ooh, I wonder! modern movies have so destroyed the better, old ones…so thanks for posting! was worth watching!
And that Jim, with whom she has fallen in love, is responsible.<<Now that's grammatically correct.
Sorry, but I had to correct the grammar of Rocco's intro.
very strange but good .
what would Ernest Gold think of all these people here slagging his music ???
buncha music haters ! shut up and listen ,
ya might learn something other than bitchin and second guessin
and the rest of it ; acting , writing , direction and production are great too !
those old cars were boats but Li'l Ida looks likes she's wheelin a battleship around @ 3:45
this is all Ida and the mucic score / FX , totally brilliant , direction & acting both
she absolutely nails the part of the marginally imbalanced idiot driven to paranoid delusions by her own imagination and prompting of a whack "haunted house" situation
Read the comment below but didn't even notice the music. Don't think the shadow was particularly pertinent. Liked it!!! Liked Lupino and Duff together.
In my honest opinion, this movie is much to do about nothing. Yes, it has some intrigue, some suspense, some suspicions, but what it comes to let me down. I am sorry to have to say that. The acting was good. The music was definitely needed to maintain the suspense and mystery. RoccosClassicsCafe, thank you for uploading. I still would rather have seen this than any modern day offering on the screen.
ida lupino and howard duff 🙂 i was upset when they got divorced – i was a kid and they seemed to me to be so good together. . .
Ernest Gold composed better music.
I thought this movie would certainly be a good movie with Ida Lupino and Howard Duff in it. Boy was I wrong. It's a real dud.
The director tried to do too much, soundtrack is annoying, not enough backstory for the main character, and the ending is too quick and sucks. 2 thumbs down.
At least she has her own vehicle. LOL
What a creepy, nosy, unfriendly, and dull "caretaker." I would have fired her the first day. He must have been insane to see anything in her…..
45.34 great movie so far – Agnes is so stiff and lacking in animation – all are stiff and wooden and strange so far
shadow at end would be part of the horror aspect of the movie – Jennifer's ghost – haunting is often a theme in horror movies
Great to see Ida & Howie together. They had a long lived deeply romantic relationship and despite films like Jennifer they made it in Hollywood. Good for them. Ida is such a great name!
Even by the standards of 1953, this film is very, very slow, it really makes you wait for it. It's full of all those 50s B/W attractions though, all the things that make these old films so much better than today's fare. I liked it. I'd love to have a "go" at Ida Lupino, these fifties women get me that way.
Ida Lupino can make any film interesting.
A really bizarre movie that made no sense, but thanks for posting. I will watch anything with Ida and Howard.
thanks for this even though i thought it was a shitty film. the film felt more like a horror picture than a mystery.
also to the person who said Terror at haunted house is worse than this one i disagree actually, i actually watched that one recently and while that one isn't a great film by any means it's a decent one that had my attention better and i was never bored while watching it unlike this one where i was bored out of my mind. this film was well acted and well made but it was very poorly written. thank god it was a short film at only 73 minutes.
