Sandra Knight who played Sally was married to Jack Nicholson from 1962-1966. They starred in a movie with Boris Karloff called "The Terror". "Terror at Black Falls" was apparently made in 1959 (although released in 1962) when Sandra was 20. In 1958 Sandra played the female lead in "Thunder Road' with Robert Mitchum. Sandra had roles on "The Rebel", "Tales of Wells Fargo", "Tate", "Wagon Train", "Surfside 6", and "Bourbon Street Beat". She studied acting with Martin Landau. She also wrote screen plays. An interesting and lovely woman.

Forgot to point out the music co-writing credit to Paul Horn, this must have been very early in his professional career even though he would have been thirty-two at the time. He moved to Canada quite early in his career, living and playing quite close to my home in Victoria BC. He was an inspiration while I studied flute in high school.

[@dcolb121]

Odd how the music in the beginning reminds me of Kronos and Tora Tora Tora...

[@PizzaFLIX]

The opening score did sound familiar.

[@calcalhoun8876]

I wonder what the budget of this film was. Under $5,000? Absorbing drama. I liked the girl Sally. I wish her big scene had gone on a little longer. Her scene definitely had me on edge. Director Sarafian was a real talent. He did my favorite episode of "I Spy" a few years later. This film was well worth watching. A message that is still relevant.

[@PizzaFLIX]

The girl is Sandra Knight, first wife of Jack Nicholson.

"cruelty must never replace reason" that's a good one. authority and legal systems are often the plot - and many times it's far worse than this. extreme punishment (cruelty and more) for minor "crimes" that are not even a real crime. all for the love of money.

Pa asked him if he wanted some coffee. Boy said no thanks, but Pa poured him a cup anyway.

What a brilliant movie, carefully orcastrated. The movie 🎬 reflected humanity & there is no one more dangerous than a man /woman who has nothing left to live for. Indifferences caused the situation to be as it was, the statement about being 'black' isn't that what happens now with us, don't we / some of us treat people differently because of their race? A big misunderstanding - race, diversity, where we live was all reflected & then some. Thank you for this movie. It was quite sad in the beginning & again there was a misunderstanding about that of intention . I pray we learn before it's far too late thus having an Avila in our midst.

THINK BLACK FALLS UP NEAR MISSOURI SOUTH OF JOPLIN..... Weed Me

[@HoTrEtArDeDcHiXx]

Yeah I’m sick so what 🤠

[@dcolb121]

Exactly.

[@NefertitiNubianQueen]

Sweet heart Pizza Flix. I was wondering if you could grant me a favour & some people may not like this but ......... When uploading a movie 🎬 & it talks about "your black" race issues, would it be alright for you to give a heads up so that I don't choke on my juice. I'm someone that likes to be prepared if possible. Is this something you could do??? Thank you as ever for the movies 🎬 you've uploaded- I've really enjoyed all that I watched thus far. 😃👍

Let’s hope that Americans remember the three years many develop amnesia.

[@barbarakay6614]

Not gonna watch this. Glad the director's name is spelled right - twice. 🍕 BAD = _Another deletion just now_ - 8th day I've MINIMALLY TRIED to help Lucy get well after EIGHT DAYS SICK!!! WHAT'S the PROBLEM?!?

[@charlesfields878]

Sheriff should have faced it from the beginning. He didn't hang Avrilar's son; he tried to save him from hanging. Also the townspeople should have backed him. The sheriff's son should have had backup. This was a screwed up movie.

[@dukromeo]

the little boy who cried wolf is often misunderstood. it's not about the boy - it's about the village. sound familiar? 😂
