I agree with you that Lady in the Lake is an interesting, if ultimately failed, experiment. (Now of course, the subjective camera is limited pretty much to video games.) I was creeped out by Night Must Fall, but my all-time favorite is Ride the Pink Horse, itself a great, neglected classic. Like some of the other commenters, it took me the longest time to make the connection between Robert and daughter Elizabeth.Brian Schuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08463833554200343247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-331373971294623620.post-55614608956445116152014-11-03T13:16:52.182-08:002014-11-03T13:16:52.182-08:00My pleasure.
