  1. ok that was even creepier- a prolonged kiss on the mouth between mother and son– parents should not kiss kids on the lips it's just too weird. There are more suitable places where you can lay your affection– top of head, forehead, cheek, even hand.

  2. About 30 minutes in, my guess would be that Meg murdered her parents and went off her rocker and Pete is trying to protect her and keep people from knowing what really happened… or I could be totally wrong…

  3. This movie was shot in Murphys, California. Decades later, in 1972, assistant director Don Kranze convinced Robert Mulligan to shoot "The Other" in the same house, same location.

  4. What a beautiful landscape they filmed this in… I lived in a place that looked very similar to this for a half dozen years… The summers were spectacular.

  5. That girl who plays Meg has only one expression on her face and only one tone in her voice – a baby-ish whine. It's almost irritating to watch her, especially when she breaks her leg. Oh boy, what a dud! She adds absolutely no compelling reason to care about her. Edward G. gives the movie the only reason to watch it to the end.

  6. Robinson was, of course, a fine actor with more than a 40-year movie career. Delmer Daves was a quality director of dozens of films. And a very young Julie London. This film, along with others, began a trend after World War Two of more frank discussions of issues only skirted in films of the 30's and 40's.

  7. A long mystery/drama, but not quite a thriller.  Good performances by all.  It's a nice portrayal of rural life in America in the 1940's.
