an overlooked hitchkock gem

Rating: 10/10 (24 May 2017)

I personally think that the cast is excellent including Bob CUMMINGS AND Priscilla LANE I think that they both are very believable.Perhaps the most interesting part of the movie is the Frank Capraesque scene in the carnival caravan where the freaks hold a town hall meeting in miniature to decide whether or not to turn Cummings over to the authorities. the idea is that in a democracy we don't automatically assume that the authorities are always right. we should study the matter and decide by majority vote what to do. Everyone is willing except the nasty midget, probably a parody of Hitler, including a mustache. Hitler having a midget character though not body. he is small in every other way. since this is a democracy run by the people Cummings is given the benefit of the doubt and allowed to pursue his Quest to prove his innocence
