Wow, this was very graphic for a black-and-white movie. Very verbally graphic about the sexual violence. It wouldn't be at all shocking in a movie made in the 1990's, but it really caught me off-guard in a 1961 black-and-white film. And perhaps that made it just that much more sinister, because I really liked this movie a LOT. It's one of the best, most truly scary thriller classics. I'd recommend this to anyone who likes old movies in general and thrillers in particular. Good slow buildup of psychological tension. 3.5 stars.
