Never Open That Door

•
1h 25m
Directed by Carlos Hugo Christensen • 1952 • Argentina
Starring Ángel Magaña, Renée Dumas, Diana de Córdoba
Based on two short stories by American master of suspense fiction Cornell Woolrich, NEVER OPEN THAT DOOR is a significant example of the cross-cultural cinematic legacy shared by the United States and Argentina during the post-WWII era. Brilliantly directed by Carlos Hugo Christensen with extraordinary cinematography by Pablo Tabernero, these twin tales of fate and chance, good and evil—one about a man out to avenge his sister’s suicide, the other about a blind mother’s dangerous reunion with her criminal son—are among the most evocative realizations of Woolrich ever produced, drenched in expressionist atmospherics and studded with masterful sequences of sustained suspense.
