Review

precursor to the orphan and omen and the like. this one has a hays code ending which is abrupt and actually kinda funny. it also suggests that the audience not give anything away which is reminiscent of diabolique which came out a year earlier. that film ends by saying something like “don’t be a grump and ruin the ending for your friends.” the little girl is good and the mother is hysterical. good flick.
