Review of Knife in the Water (1962) by Ryan H — 31 Dec 2011
A middle-aged couple pick up a young hitchhiker on their way to the lake, for which they have a boat stationed. They invite this young man onto their boat for their joyride on the lake. A plotline that has been recycled many a time, which results in a surprising conclusion, is very tense from start to finish.
Polanski's break through film often fools the viewer from one situation to the next. The payoff may not satisfy some viewers, but this first time film for a very famous director is worth more than a curious glance.
