Edward G. Robinson scared me to death in this movie when I was a kid. Many 1940s movies were NOT meant for kids.
Awesome classic thriller movie starring Edward G. Robinson.
Thanks for the upload Timeless CM

As a child this movie stood out as meaningful and still does.
there is an Edward G. Robinson movie where he pushes this old woman in her wheelchair down some stairs. Does anyone know the name of the movie?
This had to be Edward G. Robinson's creepiest role ever. What an actor. Played such a wide range of characters in the course of his career.
how do we know it is a red house
What a surprise to see the title and star. my mom loved movies, this one scared me so much, and all I remember was the red house. It still scared me after 60 some years.
Yeah, I made it all the way to the END 🙂 But I must honestly say " There go's an hour an forty minutes I'll never get back "
cool "shadow" effects
Caught this film, for the first time, on Turner Classic Movies last week. Personally I think it is outstanding. Superb acting, excellent score and cinematography. The black & white filming and the musical score, make the eerie scenes really, well, eerie. The lighter segments of the music fit those parts of the film perfectly. I'm glad that I was able to catch this gem when TCM aired it.
Slow & boring

Good film!! Thank you for posting and sharing!
great movie! love black and white movies
Second time I've seen this movie!
Films were scarier in those days….today it's always a bunch of teens…a bunch of sex and no other plot.
Just saw this Great Movie for the first time.
Thanks for sharing it!
Rory Calhoun was a popular star of western movies & on t.v. in the 50s & early 60s.
i cant believe i just watched this whole thing…. i've been smoking too much weed…sad part is…. it sucked me in…
This is not a Thriller, just boring drama.
Worth watching if just for the Miklos Rozsa music. Robinson rules. We need more psychotic murderers in our movies, don't we?
I don't see a red house.
B&W Movies remind us what REAL Acting looks like. Today, when you lose interest in a scene, they just add a sex scene as a filler.
Who wrote the CC for this film? -Example: oh crap I don't know car Chanel.
