| This a real treasure. Among these 'Classic' stories, which are all excellent, somebody decided to adapt a story by Cornell Cornell Woolrich which is not currently well-known at all, even though at the time it was adapted as a movie. And it includes a biography of Woolrich and of Bobby Driscoll who starred in the movie. A Gem! |
