...unpredictable. Where Eva moves to her promised land with oversure aim, Cassidy never quite makes it. He stops here to help unearth a war-rare Finnegans Wake from the rubble, or just to lean against tired oars in a suburban outing pond. He also pauses to ponder a still-unclear conscience. But, getting nowhere in particular, he still manages to leave Eva behind by a few paces of poetic insight...
...Paul Beeson's camera work are fine. The film's only major fault is the screenplay, written by Hamer from an adaptation by Gore Vidal. It's a pity Vidal wasn't allowed to do the whole job.

But nothing clicked. No motive appeared; the house was not robbed, and how the prowler entered was unclear. Questioned repeatedly, little Dean told conflicting versions of the sequence of events. Some cops were struck by the boy's unusual intelligence, others by his consistent lack of emotion. ("My mother and father's dead," he told one cop after the tragedy, and rode off on his bike...
