    That was so fantastic! For those of you who are unfamiliar with Saki (H. H. Munro), you must read this story The Open Window and also read Sredni Vashtar and The Unrest Cure. Maybe even Esme. I did a research paper on him and he almost instantly became on of my favorite writers. Dark like Poe with a touch of satire and humor.

    I remember this story from an Alfred Hitchcock record of spooky stories I had as a kid. Funny that I randomly ran into this. I didn't know what it was at first, but as the film moved along it became more and more familiar, till I remembered it completely. Nice to run into a story from my childhood!

    A very nice dramatisation...
    Some obvious changes from the original as part of the dramatising process (oh, and re. the title change; for non-British folk and Brits under "a certain age" the "French Windows" of the story are now usually called "French Doors" in UK) but none jarring, and the loss of the Narrator's last line is a shame, but understandable..
    The changing of the lady's brothers to being her sons, and the later (inserted) throw away lines about "the War" and mud not only perhaps foreshadow her future - sitting at these same windows, vainly (?) waiting for their return from WW1 - but also, with the early comment about their bodies being lost, and never found, add touching echoes of the author's own, real life fate in the Great War....
