House By The River / USA / 1950

In their books on Fritz Lang both Tom Gunning and Reynold Humphries take House By The River very seriously indeed – and there are certainly some nice things in the film (the background of the constantly flowing river, the dark scenes at the foot of the stairs, the billowing curtain) – but they don’t mention what for me are the sticking points of this film: the creaky melodrama of the screenplay, some very poor sets, and some even worse acting.
