Surprisingly well-made and, at times, subtle and unpredictable Billy Gray vehicle released six months after the spectacular "The Day the Earth Stood Still". Billy was certainly on a roll.
Although there is a certain Bildungsroman aspect to the film, the emphasis is on plot and intelligent development. Several scenes introduced primarily to increase interest and suspense are brought off very effectively. Bradley's treatment of children is intriguing.
Photography and music are certainly above average for this era, genre, and budget.
Unfortunately, this movie does not appear to be available on DVD or video, although if you keep an eye out, you may catch it on TMC.
