Kattiera Nana I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!

Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Josephina Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

jotix100 Despite the five favorable commentaries submitted to this forum, "The Yellow Canary", the 1963 film that showed up on cable recently, it is not a good film. Evidently, it is a piece of nostalgia to those viewers that rated it so highly.It is surprising that someone of the stature of Rod Serling could produce such paper thin premise as the one used in the narrative. It is too obvious who the kidnapper is from the start, so it comes as a no-brainer how this person could fool Andy Paxton, the man at the center of the story, as well as the police that are called to help solve the case.The film shows a bland Pat Boone trying a dramatic role. Mr. Boone was a singer that had his popularity in the late 1950s, and early 1960s. As an actor, he was wise not to leave his daytime job. The direction of Buzz Kulik, a man that worked extensively on television, does not do anything out of the ordinary to stage the film in a different fashion that might have made a better movie. Barbara Eden's Lissa does not make much sense either. Steve Forrest is about the one that fares best. Others in supporting roles include the great Jesse White, Jack Klugman, and Harold Gould.The best thing is the crisp black and white photography by Floyd Crosby of the Los Angeles of that era. The jazzy musical score is by Kenyon Hopkins.

wsjo69 I saw this movie when I was just 13 years old, and it scared me to death. I remember that the movie theater had trouble opening the curtain all the way at the beginning of the movie, which only made the whole experience even more bizarre, and it was one of the opening scenes that really freaked me out. I can still see it in my mind today, some 40 years later. From what I remember, I would compare it to "Cape Fear" and "Wait Until Dark" for comparable chills. I suspect that it would play pretty innocently these days, but I would love to see it again just to see how much of what I remember was really there. Anybody have any leads on where to find this, contact me at wsjo69@yahoo.com.

johnboy1 It's a shame that this film gets trashed all the time by critics, when it's really a fine Rod Serling movie. Boone, Eden, and Forrest give nice performances in this little mystery. I sure wish that I could find a copy of it on VHS, but I don't think it's ever been released on video. Maybe someday.

Great-4 "The Yellow Canary", movie is the story of a singer who's baby is kidnapped. The best acting in the film is from Barbara Eden in one of her best dramatic roles of Lissa Paxton, the wife of the singer and mother of the baby son who's kidnapped. The reaction when she comes home and finds her baby son kidnapped is one of the best scenes in the film. A good mystery and story from Rod Serling.
