Culver City, CA: Selznick International Pictures / RKO Radio Pictures, 1945. Early Treatment script for the 1945 film, here under its working title, "Some Must Watch." An early treatment by Mel Dinelli, basically a sketch of what would become a much more developed screenplay, offering significant insight into the early development process.
Based on the 1933 novel "Some Must Watch" by Ethel Lina White. One of the best "old dark house" noirs, with Hitchcockian touches both in terms of being a thriller and in terms of multiple insidious characters, all placed in the expert care of Robert Siodmak.
