Wow!! What a difference is to enjoy watching an old good movie : excellent actors, an interesting plot, nice dialogues and good photographies. There were no computer technology, no graphic sex, no bad words, no cell phones, no complicated special effects, no remakes and yet we still enjoy these old ones. Just pure talents. Thank you so much for this movie in a cloudy Sunday afternoon!

[@ianedwards4400]

This is quite a wonderful who-dun-it. Acting is first rate from the wonderful Van Johnson as a blind man around whom the narrative revolves. He is ably supported by the lovely Vera Miles. This is a not-to-be-missed masterpiece from 20th Century Fox, circa mid-50's. I saw the film as a child and got the same thrill when I watched again a few months ago. Van was the master of all genres. Put him in a musical, comedy, drama or any other genre for that matter, and he delivered, never disappointing the audience.

[@atthebijou8209]

he's disappointed me.

[@sandrabbitlane]

Van Johnson was great in a difficult lead role, with abundant support from a cast of real pros.

[@delzworld2007]

Super movie. It's surprising that there are so many excellent films that I have never seen before, and now we can see them all on KZbin. Van Johnson is one of those prolific actors who was, I think, very underrated. NO ADS

[@cb_555]

I had exactly the same thought! 😀🙌 I always loved classic movies, but just recently discovered, that so many are available on YT, which I never have seen before. Also a great possibility to improve the English language. And it's nice to know, that more people like it too. Greetings from Germany! 👋🙂

Good flick, based upon a good novel. It puts you in mind of Hitchcock's Rear Window, doesn't it? And how refreshing it is to see people out and about without their eyes stuck to their smartphones! Those were the days!

I love how all the normal everyday sounds that we take for granted are increased in volume here so we can experience what his life is like. Plus, Van Johnson! 💜💜💜

[@niagnordenia2432]

There are quite a few comments alleging that the movie is somehow an imitation of Hitchcock’s Rear Window. But actually it is based on the 1938 over Warrant for X y Philip MacDonald. Glad to find this

Loved the DeLuxe Color, amazing to see the streets and inside of shops in London in 1956 in such good quality color, rare to get colour movies from the mid 50s

[@paolazuffinetti]

I rank this as one of the 5 of my favourite movies ever. I bought it in the versions available, in the last 20 years, VHS, DVD, DVD remastered and BD. And now I can even watch it on You Tube. I can't get enough of it. Exceptional cast, intriguing plot, the London atmosphere on a winter, foggy night. Thanks a lot for this improved vision version, too. To be kept, watched over and over. 👏👏👏

Wonderful Vera. She played Marty’s long suffering girl in the Searchers, and the scene where she gets a letter from him and has to read it aloud to her family, fizzing with rage, is one of the funniest and tenderest scenes ever.

Hi All these old movies are now like time capsules for us to glimpse a bygone era which the people in the movie thought was ultra modern!

I was thinking the same thing. I love watching the interior design of those movies, the buildings that are no longer there.

[@patriciaramsey5294]

Very good film. Just loved it. Van Johnson was very convincing. They don't make movies like this anymore.

[@bowernerkristiansen82]

A period genre film that sets post-war London in an atmospheric way. Sunshine over the Thames and omnipresent haze. All in fairytale Deluxe Color,. I think, however, that Van Johnson is a great asset to the film because of his convincing way of portraying the blind playwright, where sounds play a vital role in his perception of the world.

[@mygremlin1]

One of the best blind movies is wait until dark. A very hitchkock like show.

[@AniMerDol]

The confrontation scene at the end was very reminiscent of that. Liked the addition of playing recorded taunts & the gender twist.

[@EdelweisSusie]

Much as I love this film, I’m still totally puzzled by the plot: what was significant about the QE2 docking on the 10th? Why was the girl in the wheeled chair kidnapped? Who was she? Funny how the killer happened to be outside JM’s flat at the exact moment she walked to the phone box! What was the significance of the doll - there were no drugs or gems inside it and how was it picked up by the Nanny at the ENTRANCE to the park and only later found in the shrubbery? We need Poirot to figure this one out!!

[@sohara....]

*I'm guessing there may be a scene cut out where the details about the toy are explained!*

[@nanahopeDale]

Check title name on Wikipedia, they do plot summary that might fill in the gaps

[@bjackins1879]

We can answer some of these. Spoiler alert!: Phil had overheard something about meeting Mary (which would put things in motion). He assumed Mary was a person. Then realized they might have been talking about the ship: the Queen Mary, and started wondering if that was the "Mary." It was. They checked the passenger list on the boat and talked to any "Lady" who was on board with children. The girl was kidnapped for ransom. We didn't meet her parents, but we heard the mother scream when she realized her daughter had been taken (we don't know how that happened). They would have been contacted when the girl was securely hidden in the bombed apartment building. The killer knew the ad had been in the paper, so he knew to watch for Janet leaving her place to make the call. He followed her until after she dialed the phone, then did away with her. The doll was in the wheelchair and fell out. We don't know why it was significant, but somehow it was a prop the kidnappers used; McDonald had purchased it in the store. Maybe it was a replica of the doll owned by the girl? Lots of twists and turns for sure. A few things left vague. Like we hope they nab the bar lady, she wasn't nice! And Phil and Jean didn't talk about the fact that he knew by the dead phone line (she didn't) that the killer was on the premises. He faked being unkind to her so she'd leave him and fast. For her safety. Whew. It was good. Fine work by all three leads!

[@giselevandenplas7847]

Don't investigate too much.... let the charm of the movie operate.... don't try to break it down.

[@cindymaceda2999]

The nanny bought the doll to endear herself to the kid, who dropped it accidentally at the doorway when they were leaving the apartment building.

I was also expecting this to be a Sherlock Holmes movie because of the unfortunate choice of title. The movie itself is made in that classic A-list style that I really like that hasn't been used since the 50s or 60s (because they don't know how to make movies like that anymore). The movie actually reminds me of "Rear Window," which may have been a possible influence since it came out 2 years before this one.
