(David Bradley, US 1952, 65 min., 16mm)

Kid Noir. Another neglected gem from the MGM B-unit, Talk about a Stranger follows young Bud as he tries to prove that the stranger who’s moved in to the long-abandoned house down the road is an evil canine murderer. Set in an idyllic citrus town and photographed by noir specialist John Alton (Raw Deal), this junior version of Shadow of a Doubt carries palpable terror.
