     I Saw What You Did
1965  NR  DRAMA  1h 22min
CAST— Sara Lane, Andi Garrett, John Ireland, Joan Crawford, Leif Erickson, Patricia Breslin
MUSIC— Van Alexander, Jerry Keller  DIRECTOR— William Castle  BASED ON— Out of the Dark (novel), by Ursula Curtiss

     Oh, really? A poorly paced thriller that fails to impress. To pass the time two teenage girls decide to make a few prank phone calls. After using various gags, they try a new method; each time someone answers the phone they say “I saw what you did, and I know who you are”. It’s a hit or miss joke but they get a hit all the same. They repeat this line to a man, chosen at random through the directory, and really freak him out; for you see, he’s just brutally murdered his wife and disposed of her body in the woods. Directed by William Castle, this dull, gimmick-less tale lacks even unintentional humor. Just hang up and dial again.
OUR RATING— **
REMADE AS— I Saw What You Did (1988)
