really great for its time. I mean the suspense does hold up and Himmy Stewart’s acting is superb. Just a really nosey guy but I mean they didn’t have internet yet so being stuck in wheelchair at home is torturous I actually thought he was trippin from being stuck at home. Great movie!

For the type of movie, I was actually mildly entertained throughout. It is a bit long and drawn out as per older movies but in this case it kind of works with it. It wasn’t a waste of time to watch and I actually did enjoy the detective side of it. It’s solid in the end, I don’t have a lot to say on it.
