Directed by Carlos Hugo Christensen • 1952 • Argentina
Starring Néstor Zavarce, Blanca del Prado, Floren Delbene
Originally intended as the third film in a trilogy of Cornell Woolrich adaptations (the first two of which comprise director Carlos Hugo Christensen’s NEVER OPEN THAT DOOR) only to be expanded into its own feature film, this haunting child’s-eye noir takes the form of a dark, dreamlike fairy tale (in many ways anticipating THE NIGHT OF THE HUNTER) as it follows Lucio (Néstor Zavarce), the young son of a police inspector investigating the serial killings of local children. When one of Lucio’s classmates winds up murdered, the boy sets out on his own to catch a killer.
