Movie review - "The Tingler" (1959) **

I loved this on the small screen. On the big screen it was a slog - badly directed and blocked, clumsily written. I kept falling asleep. Vincent Price props it up single handedly.

Actually that's not fair - the basic story is really good with a bright idea and decent twists (it was the husband etc ) even if it does borrow liberally from Diabolique. The thumping heartbeat was spooky as was the dash of colour.

But I didn't enjoy this. See it on the small screen!
