Notes: Fine Paramount noir, an adaptation of Cornell Woolrich’s story, was given a bland retitling for Australian audiences and an inauspicious bow at the Liberty. However, 279 EF points (70th) and a PPE of 7.15 (40th) were decent numbers. Also, its average engagement distance of 11,575m ranked it 18th among all titles that year. A range of features acted as its support.
