The parallels are all there, and they arent particularly hard to find.
In one, people go about their regular everyday lives untouched by criminality or violence.
In another, where darkness looms and evil broods unseen, acts of violence and terror unfold.
A man with an asthmatic voice telephones and assaults clerk Kelly Sherwood at home and coerces her into helping him steal a large sum from her bank.
He is a contradiction that cant really be understood.
Its stuff like this that begs the questions as towhyBlake Edwards didnt ever really return to the noir genre.
Experiment in Terroris available to rent on Prime Video in the U.S.
