This is a pretty great film. But when it comes to a Graham Green story directed by Carol Reed...... Well.... You know....
A fine, compelling film. Escalating gradually, a remarkable tension grows, broken by flashes of humor. This film is worth seeking out for the story craft, the film craft, the performances, and simply to enjoy a well-told story.
the ending totally killed the film, because it left so many loose ends.. plus that kid was just so annoying
The suspense in this film is as powerful as the innocence of the child in it. Best intentions and the filter established by adults for children is examined incredibly well. The writing is top notch.
Loved this film. Hits the nail on the head in terms of the destruction of childhood innocence.
Great movie. Bobby Henrey is the most annoying child ever filmed. A classic tale of innocence lost.
