Terrific movie

I saw this movie twice: once in the 60's when it first came out and in the mid-80's late on a Saturday night on television. It is terrific, and that added with its cast, it is incomprehensible if it's never been put out on home video. And oh yes, I read the novel that it is adapted from; I believe it was a few years after I saw the movie when I ran across the novel in my college library (I forget the author). When I think of the dreck in Blockbuster in the Horror section and think that this flick is nowhere to be found, then I don't know what to think. Possibly it's being in black-and-white has something to do with it's being cast into the margins all these years, but whatever the case it's a real shame. Really, Polanski's "Repulsion" is not much better.

Just seeing this for the first time in my life and the opening alone — the train scene followed by the phone call — makes clear this will be an exceptional experience.

Just finished watching. Great movie.

I don’t find anything implausible about it.


I’m surprised there isn’t more activity about it here.

The more intelligent the level of viewer a film appeals to the less likely it is to be available on dvd or streaming.

I'd like to start a streaming service for all the gems and classics that are missing from Netflix, Hulu, Vudu, etc, but it probably wouldn't be profitable.
