content: I doubt most self-confessed Kubrick fans have seen this movie.It's just over an hour long and even so we have the trademark Kubrick opening, where he takes his own sweet time in letting us know what the film is about but somehow draws us in all the same. The denouement is famously infamous for being a tad hollow, but this doesn't prevent it from being involving while it lasts.Kubrick once again demonstrated the he could point a camera at anything at all and make it interesting - the images are amazing, yet entirely functional. The movie is B&W, which I am not usually a fan of, but you'll love this on DVD. It's also a masterpiece of violence-without-violence, if you know what I mean.Give it a try, it's a brilliant piece of cinema. Kubrick in his element even in 1955.
