I think Laughton missed a potentially great terror/suspense scene when the two
kids were in the barn and Mitchum was riding nearby on horseback; they
got away unnoticed by him. One could imagine how terrifying the
scene could have been, with the kids cringing up in the loft with Mitchum
inside, under them; Pearl accidently makes a sound, Mitchum comes up the
loft, narrowly missing them as they barely escape to the boat. I can
just hear John and Pearls little hearts a thumpin' now up in that loft!
Then the following scene, a longish, somewhat boring downstream voyage by the kids, would have been a welcome relief. - AH
