I understand why Kubrick would not want anyone to see this. The dialogue and acting are just above B-movie level, with enough philosophy that becomes simply too much for a short run time. Even at sixty minutes, I checked the time too often. But the shot selection is indicative of a great eye and an emerging talent.Not every great director made great films from the gate and it's always nice to see where they come from as all we remember are their masterpieces. This isn't a failure by any means and greatly enhances my appreciation of everything Kubrick made after. If you watch it on silent or with a soundtrack of your choosing, you might find yourself enjoying it a whole lot more.

Kubrick was right to be embarrassed by this.guitarmas5
Not great, but every now and then you can see glimpses of the genius that was to come.Bermuda Jones
Like other completists out there, I'm glad I finally got to see this. Acting and timing not great, but there were some really good lines and shots and an eerie quality that help make this movie worth the hour.SweetVanillaFreshness
This movie is probably the worst Kubrick movie ever made, good thing it's only 1 hour long.Dieguito
Impressively bad acting and soundtrack! Life teaches..Jonas2k

The blueprint for his later films: very good cinematography - optimizable plot.Camille Deadpan
For me, this movie is much more interesting than Killer's kiss (1955). Also, the close up of the dog was very cute, all sleepy and all :)pier2010
I heard Kubrick hated so much his first movie that he asked to burn all the copies made. Guess the didn't... :)jmars

Very hard to find but I can see why Kubrick made it so. It really is his worst film (when you compare it to those that followed)armyofshadows
Pretty bad. Really only worth watching if you want to be able to truthfully say that you've seen all of Kubrick's feature films (provided that you have seen all the others.)Rohit
What came later, makes this worthless
