It says that it's only the second film post-Code to deal with rape. But what of 1949's The Accused, with Loretta Young? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.151.139.114 (talk) 00:32, 9 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

So she is followed by "a man" - ?

[edit]

As we can perfectly see, the "mysterious man" is nobody else than the concession stand guy, introduced from the beginning, whom Ann must know for a while since he comments on her standard order, right in first scene, is obviously interested in her, calling the young woman "beautiful". We must assume, this guy chatted Ann up repeatedly. It seems quite far fetched, or construed, to present Ann so severely out of her mind (blackout ? memory hole ? kind of unconsciousness ?), that she can't even remember, memorize, identify, aside from a 'scar', this obvious suspect, putting 2 and 2 together. Man must have been known to her. He yelled "beautiful" after her at that evening when he started the pursuit. Later we learn, as the minister pleas for Ann, that in the meantime the man was catched by the police, having committed a robbery, and was identified as her rapist, too, in all, a notorious criminal. Why should he confess this crime or how could the police prove his guilt in absence of Ann ? We see, this picture contains more than a bit of an overstretch. Even for a b-pic. --2001:A61:5DD:D01:D486:FBE1:879:F741 (talk) 16:53, 13 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
