This shamefully overlooked gem is a psychological thriller that has been called the best portrayal of coming-of-age anguish ever done. John Mills shines, and the juvenile lead John Howard Davies grew up to produce many quality offbeat comedy shows-- Monty Python, Steptoe & Son, The Good Life and Fawty Towers to name a few! If the brilliantly choreographed scene in Strangers on a Train where a carousel comes flying apart left you with an almost a phobic reaction to painted wooden horses-- this movie will finish the job!
