I felt compelled to watch this and it brought back bad memories of my own escape from a monster. My friend Kim and I (7&8) decided to climb a fence and take a look at an old mans exotic bird aviary. He caught us and locked us in his house. He told us that he was going to tell our parents and call the police and that we would go to jail. He told us how our parents wouldn't love us anymore. He gave us an ultimatum which seemed the only way out was for us to strip and well he went a lot further fully molesting us. He let us go when we cried and screamed. We ran for our lives half naked. Kim wanted me to go back and get our clothes and I said I'm never going there again. I think we both snuck home and changed. We never told our parents about it but it brought back the memories. He was considered to be a very nice man and unfortunately friends with my parents who always invited him over to our house for meals. I used to hide in my room, my folks used to say how unkind I was. I should have told them but quite frankly I doubt that they would have believed me. That was in the early 70s. The only good thing is that he is dead now.
As a 6-year old (in 1954) a young man stepped out of his garden gate as my friend and I were cycling past on our tricycles and asked us if we wanted some sweets. I said Yes but my friend disappeared. He took me into the outside toilet at the bottom of his garden and closed the door. It was very dark so he said he'd get his matches out of his pocket so he could find the sweets. He put something in my hand and asked me to hold it while he found his matches. It was soft and warm and he started jumping up and down and I could hear the matches rattling in his pocket. Then the thing in my hand started to get bigger and hard ... and I got really scared and started screaming as loud as I could. He opened the door, pushed me out into the garden and I opened the gate, jumped onto my trike and pedalled home as fast as my little legs would carry me. I never told my parents (a) because I was told never to speak to strangers and (b) I didn't really understand what had happened -- I just knew that I'd never been so frightened in all my short life.
After reading the comments here, I think it's important to say, that the worst crime is that the "town" allowed this to happen. It's not hard to believe in light of today's backward society, Yes, backward. Why don't we protect our children? The threat is much greater now.
They Swear to the US Constitution... & Usurp it... Where is the Human & Civil Rights of the Women & Children That the Whouse Thinks are Meaningless to their Greedy Agenda... You would think the SS Crimrs would Never Return to the Face of this Earth.. But the Earth is in the Toilet.. Peace...
A movie that depicts how turning a blind eye to predatory behavior of an adult towards children - leaves those children (or others) open to assault, severe trauma - or worse. Good movie for both parents and children to watch. Totally believable scenarios from beginning to end. Thank you for posting!❤
I thought it was good also, it looked to be older but it was made in 1960 and based on a 1954 play. Some parts were a bit over the top with theatrics but it was fairly well done for as old as it is.
This just amazing how this movie made it pass on the screen at that time. I’ve never seen it before , I’m sad and mad at the same time,thanks for putting it on yt. 👍🏼👋👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I saw this film when it first came out, the lasting memory of it is him pulling the boat back with the mooring rope and the two frightened children and the look on his face, I have never watched it again and I am now nearly 80, it left such an impression on me.
This was really productive for the time! Bravo!! You really never saw these kinds of stories when I was a kid! It’s nice to see movies that addressed these issues for the time!!
Nice to read an appropriate and positive comment. It accomplished a lot. The experts here or peanut gallery exhaust themselves w comments better left unsent
As a 70's baby, It's incredible to witness the antiquated views, ideas and resolutions as it relates to molestation. Unfortunately, those of us born after those earlier generations paid the cost and spent a small fortune on mental health care to deal with the after affects. One fact I made sure to do is to speak with your children openly about everything, and parents validate their thoughts!
@@litetorturelitetorture4027 You speak of generations You know of. This was always going on, but those "earlier generations " saw children suffer in silence. If they did speak of being violated, they were often punished, called liars, and could be ostracized.
my father was raised during the great depression in the state of Colorado he moved to San Francisco California way back my father enjoyed such movies as Shirley Temple Don knots plus trail of the lonesome pine movie with Henry Fonda plus the Andy Griffith Show plus little house on the prairie tv series plus John Wayne movies plus the Beverly hill Billy's tv series sorry for getting off topic.
I couldn't count the amount of Times i was tried to be lured into a car or lollies 2 doors up from my home as a little girl of 5-6 in 69-70. Thankfully my mother constantly warned us about these perverts
They didn't waste any time heading into the conflict ty. BW noir enhances the theme especially where he's lumbering thru the dark forest dressed in white...almost ghostly. And an important message which handled deftly but poignantly. It was rewarding to see the father eventually holding his moral compass above a paycheck. That's old school. Thanks for the upload
A brilliant film. Child abuse should be taken seriously and it is so important that children should be able to talk openly about this with their parents. Someone exposed himself several times to my sister whilst she was walking to school. She told me about this years later, but she never told my parents.
Those kind of things happened all the time when I was growing up in the 60's. Walking to school one time after lunch right across from my Junior High a man exposed himself I ran hard straight to principles office and told them and we looked out his office window and of course he was gone. One time downtown Chattanooga a man exposed himself right there on the sidewalk with people walking all around. We were going to theater to watch Elvis movie my two cousins and me while their mother got her hair fixed. There's been many times and more.
The strange thing is that when such behaviours are revealed and harms are done, the very first reaction is to want to cover wrong-doing up. This is almost instinctive with adults. If we hide it, it will go away. The next thing is to blame the victim as though the victim was the cause of the trouble. Only after that will people come to terms with the truth.
@margyeoman3564 what I have noticed that's reflexive behaviour with adults confronted by ANY uncomfortable truth: sweep it away, diminish it somehow, act like it doesn't matter. It's as much about dealing with their own personal discomfort, pushing it away as fast as possible by minimising the problem.
😢😢 Very sad ending. If only the adults were not SO stupid. The REALITY of it is there ARE sick people that need to be committed to an institution for the safety of the people! Would save lives!!!!!!!😢
Im the only guy commenting on this. I wonder why. I was molested starting at almost 11 yes old by a 15 yr old male teenager. It went on for a couple yes this was in 1968 .i was a only child i was nieve i had to get counseling. The 15 yr old then was 17 when it stopped. Got in trouble and their was no accountability. His family moved away. What say about a small town is true. People talk and it can be cruel. I had a couple good friends back then. Im still friends with 1 of them. The others is no longer living.
THANK you for saying so! It isn't always adults. I went through this with a 12 yr old. Thankfully, I spoke up before it went further than touching. I was 6 at the time. I am sorry this happened to you.
I live in a small town, haven't been here long but can see that everyone knows each other. The infection he mentions is true. I'll be getting out of here asap, I don't want to be infected. It's a sickening mentality.
@AussieDJRemixes good for you. Unfortunately it's seems quite widespread, more so than when I was a kid in the sixties. The two cases that became public when I was a child were the exception, our minds were free of fear. We went wherever and whenever we wanted to go, with no problem ever.
Yes, thank you for uploading this! And a Hammer production to boot, makes me appreciate even more! Wow, such a current example of what horrifyingly continues today and in a wider scope of abuses. Exampling how all communities, at every level must be held responsible. This includes 'transparency', no more secrets, no further suppression of 'whistle blowers' (especially our little peoples/children including older persons 'remembering' and needing to reveal their experiences. Without continued denial/suppression, further trauma.
This was a great movie...however, as a parent, if my child had gone through a court case where a pervert was found not guilty...I would be keeping a very close watch on my child and would want to know their every movement and moment. Children are precious and we need to keep them safe.
At this times, the two kids have acting well. Their history still remains that they've done something incredible in their acting on a movie, once upon a time in their lives. All who acting here on this show too, they've done it. ❤. Far it was, and it's still became, uptill now good to look. ❤. Bravo!! It's is fine, here on this film. ❤.
I had quite a shock when little Jean Carter went into the witness stand. I immediately saw her dress in colour. The horizontal patterns were dark red, navy blue and turquoise. I wore that same sleeveless dress in the late 50s, a hand-me-down from my sister.
I always binge black and white movies and shows for new years and this time I just clicked a thumbnail, put an earbud in my ear to listen while I cleaned Christmas decorations. Imagine my surprise when I heard the child say, "We took off all our clothes." I had to tell my 16 year old daughter all about it! Terrifying that after all these decades, the responses to abuse still echo in many families, no matter the time period or economic status.
I’m reading the comments and fear visiting my horrors. It’s so sad many of us carry such awful scars, nay scars but cuts that never quite heal. My love to everyone who met the monsters of their childhood ❤
Wow! For the time it was made that was incredibly honest in its portrayals. I remember at 7 having a guy from the flat block next to ours expose himself -he was married with kids. I was shocked and scared, too scared to tell my parents because I was worried they might get hurt confronting him. So I kept it inside but from then on, I wouldn't go to the shops for my mother anymore, she thought I was lazy but I was plain terrified! Thankfully we moved months later, but I've always remembered that. Now as a grown woman, I keep my eyes open to any kids who might need some help whatever the cause because they are vulnerable innocents who need to be kept safe by the community around them. Every one of us is responsible.
Yes and he's on the list of 28 pedos in parliament that are protected by a 99 year silence order by Howard .. The fifth in the Australian Government is 🤢
Excellent movie. Thank you for sharing. I really liked it when the father turned the extended job offer down. Saying we are leaving town before we' become infected.
Wow - never heard of this movie before even though I am familiar with the main actors - Gwen Watford is top notch here. This was one of the hardest movies to watch, and I watch a lot of movies.
This movie was both gripping and frustrating. I hope the court room antics were just movie exaggeration and not indicative of how courtrooms in the 60's interrogated ( badgered ) children on the witness stand, Disgusting!
@@elizabethhayward8238Idk about children in court but, it's still commonplace for teenage girls and grown women to be blamed for being molested, attacked, raped. 😢
A thought provoking movie. Well cast and acted. Some turning a blind eye because status mattered in the community..sadly in the times we lived in those days. Sending hugs to all those affected by the story.
I am finding it hard to continue to watch this film.The police captain trying to shove this tragedy under the rug has made me sick to my stomach. I’ll continue to watch some other time.😠🤷🏼♀️
Wow! We usually associate Hammer with monsters. This was a different kind of monster. Surprised they made a film of this nature. Ahead of its time. Excellent film, many thanks for uploading it!!!
Back when I was in elementary school (1st - 4th grqde circa late 1960s) we were shown a PSA on basically stranger danger. It went something like this movie with 2 little girls getting bashed in the head at the end with rocks from the molester.. Now molesting wasn't shown but you got the idea.. That clip has stuck with me for decades .This may be a Canadian movie , but those golden years people my age n older yap about were hardly ever golden... 2024 & the same ignorant ploys play against women & children..pathetic
Jimmy Saville, Rolf Harris and Gary Glitter I wonder how many people's lives have been ruined because of them. How many times was it said 'It's just Jimmy being Jimmy'.
The 1950s and 1960s were a time when people let their children play outside all day long, just as long as they were back by a certain hour. We were allowed to ride bikes everywhere and to different towns. Evil people are saturating our world now and parents have to be infinitely more vigilant. It’s tragic that we live in a world where the criminals control our lives and behavior.
@@eucliduschaumeau8813 I'm 68 and believe me, those were dangerous times as well. As a grade school child, I was followed by men in cars as I walked to school and also offered candy from other male strangers. I think parents back then were very naive to allow their children so much freedom, thinking it was safe.
EVERY ONE INSIDE THIS TOWN KILLED THAT LITTLE GIRL🤬😢😡BECAUSE THOSE WHO ARE MADE TO NOT TELL🤐BOTH GIRLS ARE DEAD IT IS ONLY ONE IS NO LONGER BREATHING AND SHE WHO IS WILL ALWAYS FEEL AS DEAD AS HER FRIEND BECAUSE THE COURTHOUSE TOLD HER BY THEIR ACTIONS THE MAN WAS SET FREE AND HE HELD NO GUILT IN ANY WAY. SHE WILL ALWAYS THINK IT WAS SHE WHO CAUSED THE WHOLE THING ALL BECAUSE SHE WANTED CANDY???
But yes... trust people, trust the police, trust judges, trust lawyers and all the shit in this rotten world and these will be the logical results. I have learned to never ask for help again (even if for different reasons). Sure, this is a movie, a play, but, normally the truth never comes out and in any case never in such an obvious, theatrical way, the truth and people are much more subtle!😡
*Spoiler alert:* I know this is just a fictional movie, BUT I can't believe that prosecutor let the defense lawyer treat a child that way and re-traumatize her! He should have been objecting all over the place. And he should have let Jean know, in advance, what to expect from the defense attorney long before that trial began. As if that weren't bad enough, the judge had the gall to chastise Jean's father for trying to protect his little girl?!! I don't know what our legal system was like in the 50's, but I certainly hope that it wasn't as bad as it was portrayed in the movie. I'm glad attorneys aren't allowed to treat child witnesses like that now. I know they'd probably ask the same despicable questions, but at least they aren't allowed to be verbally abusive to children.
I just wanted to see comments concerning did you like it, was/is it a good movie ?? I don’t want to know your personal life. Really why would you want to put that out there ??? GeeWiz
Good Movie!....but my how people were so backward thinking back then.... I am glad we have come along way, and protect our children much smarter today.
Not true, sometimes they fantasise or lie to get themselves out of trouble. Which is why a responsible adult should report and get proper help/counselling for the victim .
Pero los niños se trauman cuando los padres les dicen que no confíen en ninguna persona extraña,,y no todos son predador..hay gente que más bien protegen a los demás..Talvez es mejor cuidar bien de los niños sin traumas.
The Carter family are new immigrants in this story. All the other characters appear to be stable Canadians. The power imbalance in local affairs is something I've often seen shown in American films and occasionally in historical British films (set in earlier reigns than the monarch cited here as QE2).
Not my kind of film story. For film fans, I did notice though a few English accents. Hammer production at Bray studios UK. The end sequence looks like Black Park with the small lake, near Pinewood studios Buckinghamshire.

Around 1956 I regularly saw Gwen Watford on stage .
She was the leading lady in the local repertory company ,in the UK town of Watford ,Hertfordshire.

This was a good movie 🎥🍿🎥🍿🎥🍿🎥🍿🎥 thank you for sharing this with us 😎
OMG....SHOCK MOVIE... BUT HAPPENS MORE THAN PEOPLE THINK !!
Back when I was in elementary school (1st - 4th grqde circa late 1960s) we were shown a PSA on basically stranger danger.
It went something like this movie with 2 little girls getting bashed in the head at the end with rocks from the molester..
Now molesting wasn't shown but you got the idea..
That clip has stuck with me for decades
.This may be a Canadian movie , but those golden years people my age n older yap about were hardly ever golden... 2024 & the same ignorant ploys play against women & children..pathetic
British made ,Canadian only in the script .
It was even filmed entirely in Britain.
Human nature doesn’t change at all
Real life can be more horrifying than anything Edgar Allen Poe, H.P. Lovecraft or Steven King novels combined.
Jimmy Saville, Rolf Harris and Gary Glitter I wonder how many people's lives have been ruined because of them. How many times was it said 'It's just Jimmy being Jimmy'.
Boy, ain't that the truth!
@@BrianBavosa very true.
Truth is always stranger than fiction. Films are only representations of horror.
The dogs were superb!!!!
Why would her parent allow her to go out on her own after what they went through,,,weird.
Porque entonces no habría pelicula para ver!
The 1950s and 1960s were a time when people let their children play outside all day long, just as long as they were back by a certain hour. We were allowed to ride bikes everywhere and to different towns. Evil people are saturating our world now and parents have to be infinitely more vigilant. It’s tragic that we live in a world where the criminals control our lives and behavior.
@@eucliduschaumeau8813 I'm 68 and believe me, those were dangerous times as well. As a grade school child, I was followed by men in cars as I walked to school and also offered candy from other male strangers. I think parents back then were very naive to allow their children so much freedom, thinking it was safe.
Scary but good movie …surprised that that content was filmed so early!
If you think this was provocative, watch "M" by Fritz Lang. Preceded this by twenty-three years, and made Peter Lorre a star.
Highly recommended movie.
Great movie
Wow. Horrible. How people protect victims. So many children this happens to. I’m glad this is taken more seriously now but still it happens so often
@@donnagray2859 Don't you mean h ow people protect predators
Don't you mean how people protect predators.
😢😢😢What a sad ending.
TY ❤
EVERY ONE INSIDE THIS TOWN KILLED THAT LITTLE GIRL🤬😢😡BECAUSE THOSE WHO ARE MADE TO NOT TELL🤐BOTH GIRLS ARE DEAD IT IS ONLY ONE IS NO LONGER BREATHING AND SHE WHO IS WILL ALWAYS FEEL AS DEAD AS HER FRIEND BECAUSE THE COURTHOUSE TOLD HER BY THEIR ACTIONS THE MAN WAS SET FREE AND HE HELD NO GUILT IN ANY WAY. SHE WILL ALWAYS THINK IT WAS SHE WHO CAUSED THE WHOLE THING ALL BECAUSE SHE WANTED CANDY???
He needed help that's why he checked himself into the hospital. If they only kept medical records ... Intense and suspenseful film. ❤
AMAzing mid century modern.
Mr Elderberry should have been asked questions.
Sickening lot off victim blaming going on blaming the child like seriously wtf gross 😢😮
But yes... trust people, trust the police, trust judges, trust lawyers and all the shit in this rotten world and these will be the logical results. I have learned to never ask for help again (even if for different reasons). Sure, this is a movie, a play, but, normally the truth never comes out and in any case never in such an obvious, theatrical way, the truth and people are much more subtle!😡
Grandma must have a crush on the old man. Ain't no decent grandmother wouldn't respond like she did.
U mean that man who was looking at those two little girls he is going to go after them oh my god the poor girl 👧 s
This is the consequence of not believing in the words of a child.
When I was a kid I would have myself dance in front of a mirror in my sunday suit for free.
This movie should have a warning about content may disturb children due to child abuse.
@@marionbik2022 on the contrary I think it’s a good warning to children as well as to adults.
@@marionbik2022 More damaging is children realising how much adults might blame them if they tell the truth about abuse.
chilling movie for its time
Heartbraking story.
The cross examination of the child was the limit for me. I couldn't continue watching.
What year is this movie? Ty
How mild this was compared to the molestations and sexual assults revealed these days.
Especially considering we have a predator just voted in to lead the country !
Back in the day when this movie was fimed it would have been very risqué to show explicit sexual abuse on children.
😢😢😢😢😢 WOW
*Spoiler alert:*
I know this is just a fictional movie, BUT I can't believe that prosecutor let the defense lawyer treat a child that way and re-traumatize her! He should have been objecting all over the place. And he should have let Jean know, in advance, what to expect from the defense attorney long before that trial began.
As if that weren't bad enough, the judge had the gall to chastise Jean's father for trying to protect his little girl?!! I don't know what our legal system was like in the 50's, but I certainly hope that it wasn't as bad as it was portrayed in the movie. I'm glad attorneys aren't allowed to treat child witnesses like that now. I know they'd probably ask the same despicable questions, but at least they aren't allowed to be verbally abusive to children.
Oh well, shoulda listened 😢
Although I think that parents were very brave, they weren’t smart at all! I didn’t finish watching but let’s see how it’s gonna end.
WoW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
These comments are better than the movie
I just wanted to see comments concerning did you like it, was/is it a good movie ?? I don’t want to know your personal life. Really why would you want to put that out there ??? GeeWiz
Good Movie!....but my how people were so backward thinking back then.... I am glad we have come along way, and protect our children much smarter today.
Seriously they should get the people that made these comments and make a movie this movie sucks period
Always remember kids dont tell lies up to an age
@@claireboulton8725 I wish that were true, but it's not. Grandmother of a young child.
Not true, sometimes they fantasise or lie to get themselves out of trouble.
Which is why a responsible adult should report and get proper help/counselling for the victim .
Pero los niños se trauman cuando los padres les dicen que no confíen en ninguna persona extraña,,y no todos son predador..hay gente que más bien protegen a los demás..Talvez es mejor cuidar bien de los niños sin traumas.
This is a movie to watch for entertainment stop criticizing the story and the plot!!!!
ENTERTAINMENT??!!! 😮 😢
YOU FIND THIS MOVIE ENTERTAINING??!!!
This was the 1950s? Everyone so stiff and formal.
@@joyceanthony-huff2914 It's called "being civilized".....lol.
England. The grandmother especially was a pill.
The British always took more risks in film-making.
The Carter family are new immigrants in this story. All the other characters appear to be stable Canadians. The power imbalance in local affairs is something I've often seen shown in American films and occasionally in historical British films (set in earlier reigns than the monarch cited here as QE2).
Not my kind of film story.
For film fans,
I did notice though a few English accents.
Hammer production at Bray studios UK.
The end sequence looks like Black Park with the small lake, near Pinewood studios Buckinghamshire.
Beloved the jury is as nasty as the dirty man.
