One very STUPID item in this film!!!!


This took place at the ending during the court proceedings.

Vincent Price, as the District Attorney, with logic and proof summed up the case beautifully! He destroyed the testimony of each witness and the only conclusion the jury could possibly make is PREMEDITATED MURDER with opportunity and motive!

In one split second, the husband said she was a monster and she killed his brother and baby and without any proof or witnesses. The jury unanimously said innocent of murder. Just plain STUPID!

This is worse then the OJ Simpson trial. I bet every criminal ever convicted of a crime could just blurt out how he is innocent and would need no proof whatsoever to avoid convection.

Entertaining film up to that point but this part ruined it for me!

I have to agree that the ending was weak.

Thank You!

Except that he Sacrificed himself for Ruth. He blamed himself for Ellen's madness. He didn't want any more suffering to come to Ruth and Mrs. Berent. They knew exactly what Ellen was, and how her obsessions destroy anything or anyone that gets in her way....










I do hope he won't upset Henry...

"He blamed himself for Ellen's madness."

Maybe in the book. There's nothing to suggest that in the movie.

In the novel it was a bit stronger. They came up with evidence that Ellen committed suicide.
