Review of The Face at the Window (1939) by Neil O — 14 Feb 2009
The third adaptation of the stage play by F. Brooke Warren features a sinister Tod Slaughter hamming it up marvellously. The film moves at a fast pace, and is a total delight. Slaughter barnstorms his usual and the cast pick up the pieces around him.
Untypically this was a film that was much more American in style, with international aspiration however the essence of Slaughter's previous work remained. Crisp monochrome print used for the new UK Odeon DVD release.
