Can you tell me which movie this was?
One summer when I was 10 or so, I saw a movie but cannot recall the title of it. It was very strange. It was set in a major city perhaps New York and was filmed in noir style B&W with lots of shadows. A young woman is locked in the basement apartment of the building's super. I believe he rapes her. At one point she kicks him in the eye and he loses it, wearing a patch for the rest of the film. There is a dream sequence that really disturbed me. She is in a large museum running through the halls as if being chased. She keeps running into people with no face, only a smoothed over area. (This seems to be a common theme in some 50's films.) These people appear to be laughing at her and she runs on until finally she finds her way into a huge gallery. On the far wall is a large painting of a forest with a stag in the middle. As she runs to it the eye in the stag falls out onto the floor and she awakes screaming, locked up in the basement apartment. After the dream though she begins to develop a relationship with the guy who was raping her!!!
If I'd seen the above later in life I would have sworn it was the opiates talking but I was only 10 so I am pretty certain of the film content. The girl reminded me of Sandy Dennis but the IMDB shows nothing unless this was an episode of the Naked City TV series. Does this strike a chord with anyone? I've asked before on other forums, maybe this one too, but never gotten an affirmative.
