Kiss of Death not for children
When I first saw Kiss of Death, it had to be about 1949. I was either five or six. It was shown at a Saturday matinee, along with a western and a serial. I do recall seeing the scene where Widmark pushes the old lady down the stairs. Don't think it damaged my psyche any, but I don't think my parents would have wanted to see it. How ironical that this was back in the "good old days" when they showed movies suitable for children.They did not have the rating code of "R" or "X" but I would say that this rates at least an "R." Mildred Dunnock looked like a nice old lady, and that's a hell of a way to treat a lady. I also recall seeing the Red Shoes where the ballerina throws herself in front of a train. Again at the Saturday matinee. We kids back then weren't all that sheltered/
