I was on amazon.com and read about some bio of the director that is supposed to be quite fascinating and can be bought for .01 evidently he was important to starting off Broadway as he made films for 42nd street theatres. this was last night then I found this with another movie on one DVD at the 99 cents only store, so I knew I was fated to watch.
this movie was cute, gets a little dull after awhile but . . I did quite like the ending!
it's important to give 10 lines of text. Well, it should have been the husband shown in the opening scene who was eventually to be nude and without clothing in the raw as it were.

it's funny how the film boldly commits errors but then parts of it are very competently shot, when the people are looking around in the house of doom.

in the soundtrack there is a loop of a barking dog that is played 3 times in succession, then there is a variation like a little bit of it is cut out and this "big phrase" ends by starting again. This cycle repeats maybe 8-10 times when employed, becoming a sort of a pure vibration a kind of incantation of mood, "ARF ARF ARF! ARF!! (pause) ARF!! (pause) ARF!! (pause)" rather like morse code are this particular hounds utterances. The filmmakers get away with it partly cause dogs are often quite repetitive in their barking. there almost seems to be dog sentence structure, from the sound of it, and I couldn't help wondering if it might be possible that dogs borrow their "cadences" from humans. after all it's usually humans they are barking at. But only in the most lassie like extremities, really, maybe only on TV, in face, do dogs use barking as a means of communication with their masters, it's whining that's commonly done. What I'm saying is, if dogs were imitating conversation then maybe they'd be liable to join into human conversations by barking along, but this doesn't happen. anyway I was glad to have watched the movie for putting my mind onto this subject of the structure, grammar, or just rhythm of dog barking.
