    Pioneer if not a game changer

    The movie needs to be taken & picked out from the era 1950 . It was a Pioneer if not a game changer. Things touched were:

    • Trading of securities -something even rampant today . Trades in securities, stocks, bonds, options and commodities & their pitfalls with unscrupulous brokers


    • There was 'medium', hollywood bursts out it's seams With Psychic Mediums movies , even today


    • walking talking skeleton, something the mass will see later from masters like Ray Harryhausen etc.


    -one of the earliest films(at least an indian film) to depict a rape/attempted rape scene. Rape scene before the 1950s hmm.. I would really have to scratch my head here.

    • and ofcourse the classic revenge story of a woman (hell hath no fury as a woman scorned)
    so yeah , there was lot to take from this one, keeping in mind it's 1950 ! . Thumbs up !...it must have cracked the box-office back then .
