Previous reviewer calls the ending "electric". Well, maybe in the sense of electroshock that is used to render its subject docile and stupid. In other words, and to mix the metaphor, this film was going pretty good, with a nice "Ambersons" like feel for the more stifling conventions of American small town family life, until it was kneecapped by the Hays Office in its final minutes. Kinda surprised that Siodmak, who refused to participate in the travesty, put his name on the thing. Give it a C.
