This film still sticks in my mind and probably will for days to come. No blood, no gore; only sheer terror for most of the film. Not only was I horrified but I felt a strong compassion for the characters as I watched them disintegrate before my eyes. When one of the characters apologizes on film I just wanted to let her know it was not her fault. Unfortunately because of the opening lines in the film I knew her fate was sealed and there wasn't going to be any happy endings.
Two scenes stick out in my mind.
1. Janet Gaynor walking across the plank into the apartment where Chico is waiting. She looks like an angel descending to earth.
2. The crane shot where the two lovers run up the stairs to the seventh floor (seventh heaven). This is a place where the two are isolated from the rest of the world and time stands still.
