Today ,William Castle's is known as the man who bought Ira Levin's "Rosemary's baby " rights and produced one of the best horror movies of all time.
"Undertow" has a quite derivative screenplay but the director made the best of it and any film noir buff can give it a chance :it thoroughly deserves it.It features at least one unforgettable scene: the chase in the long corridor which gives you goose flesh.Of the two female leads,I prefer Dorothy Hart to the rather bland Peggy Dow.
In the 1968 movie Castle produced ,there was a corridor which played a prominent part too.
