Anecdotes
One of over 200 titles in the list of independent feature films made available for television presentation by Advance Television Pictures announced in "Motion Picture Herald", 4 April 1942. At this time, television broadcasting was in its infancy, almost totally curtailed by the advent of World War II, and would not continue to develop until 1945-46. Because of poor documentation (feature films were often not identified by title in conventional sources) no record has yet been found of its initial television broadcast. It's earliest documented USA telecasts took place on American Broadcasting Company's short-lived First Nighter Theatre, aired in New York City Wednesday 15 November 1950 on WJZ (Channel 9), in Los Angeles Tuesday 28 November 1950 on KECA (Channel 13), in San Francisco Monday 4 December 1950 on KGO (Channel 7) and in Philadelphia Friday 30 March 1951 on Friday TV Thriller on WCAU (Channel 10).

Face at the Window, The (1939)

** 1/2 (out of 4)

A deranged killer known as "The Wolf" strikes terror into 1880's Paris. Is it the poor banker out to get money or the rich playboy (Tod Slaughter)? This is the best film from Slaughter that I've seen but his hammy performance, while getting laughs, makes it a bit hard to take the film too serious. The Wolf is a pretty good character and certainly a step up from Werewolf of London but the ending is wildly out of control. An interesting film nonetheless. The look and howl of the "wolf" here is a lot more effective than Universal's Werewolf of London.
