SOMEONE BEHIND THE DOOR is a very good film and stars Anthony
(Mother)Perkins Jill Ireland and of course The MAN! Charles

suspects his wife of having an affair and wants to get rid of her
FOR GOOD!!! This has a good script and character development.
Bronson is very good as the helpless stranger and Perkins is well
PERKINS! He too is very good and though this is a Bronson
movie(he was the number 1 box office star at the time)Perkins
has the most screen time and even moments alone on film!
a very good thriller,not fantastic but VERY good!!!

Redefines the concept of "mind games"...........2006-07-09

Wow! What an unusual and oftentimes disturbing film this is with excellent performances all around from Perkins, Bronson, and Ireland in this tale about a twisted neurologist (Perkins)whose wife's infidelity prompts him to manipulate an amenesiac (Bronson), into killing his wife and her lover.

Perkins is well-cast in this role as the doctor who takes Bronson both into his care and confidence later managing to convince him that Ireland is his wife and is having an affair with a French journalist. An unusual role for Bronson, typically regulated to B pictures and action roles, this film showcases his tremendous range where the director has successfully cast him against type. In this case, the victim.
Like "Lola" with Susan George filmed a year earlier and directed by Richard Donner, Bronson played a 38 year old author of "adult literature" who marries the 16 year old Susan George--a stretch for an actor of mostly B action pictures like "Death Wish" and "The Evil That Men Do."

This film shot on the southern coast of England, as did "Lola," captures another facet of this actor's gifts. This would be one of many pictures where he would collaborate with his wife, Jill Ireland.

Perkins is superb as the disturbed neurologist who finds solace in the opening bars of Dvorak's "New World Symphony" and toy puzzles. Perkins always brings a neurotic intensity to any role, and this is no exception. The ending is one that is shocking as well as unexpected.

The quality of this DVD is excellent for a film over 30 years old. The transfers from the 16mm print are remarkably clean, and the audio is remastered to Dolby standards. Beware of cheaper versions of this DVD that look like they were taken from a VHS tape.

Good story line for a great actor.......2005-09-26

Just because Charles Bronson was known for action pack movies, he wasn't giving the opportunity, as many other actors, to play suspense roles with style. This movie, has a good Plot, with Actors that made the story line pop...The movie industry,during that era,needed a change of pace on how Films were produced. Plus,this movie reminds me of another Action Star, Clint Eastwood, in the suspense thriller "Play Misty For Me", with the same effect, but different approach. I have always been very pleased to watch Mr. Bronson entertain me for several years, and will deeply missed him, but with a combination of new technology to re-master old films, and the open doorway to purchase these rare movies on [...], I can now watch the Past with the Stars again, again and again........

IF YOU ONLY LIKE BRONSON'S ACTION MOVIES, DO NOT WATCH THIS!.......2004-08-28

A NEUROSURGEON [THE LATE GREAT ANTHONY PERKINS] ALLOWS A POTENTIALLY MURDEROUS AMNESIAC [THE LATE GREAT CHARLES BRONSON] TO STAY IN HIS HOME. UNLIKE MANY OTHER CHARLES BRONSON MOVIES, IT MAKES YOU WANNA THINK. THE ACTING IS GREAT AND THE STORY IS INTRIGUING. IF YOU ONLY LIKE BRONSON MOVIES LIKE ''DEATH WISH'' OR ''ACT OF VENGEANCE'', THEN THIS MOVIE IS DEFINITELY NOT FOR YOU. BUT IF YOU LIKE PSYCHOLOGICAL THRILLERS, THEN THIS IS A GREAT MOVIE FOR YOU TO WATCH.

A delightful psychological thriller.......2004-01-29

I actually originally picked up Someone Behind The Door on VHS for 99 cents. I was a huge Bronson fan and said "what the hell" and got it. The title and cover did not make the film too appealing, but I was actually taken by total surprise by the film. Fans of Bronson's action films, don't expect the same here. This is more of a thought provoking thriller. What got me the most is the great performances by Bronson, Perkins, and Bronson's then wife . The story centers on brain sergon Anthony Perkins finding amnesia victim Bronson. Perkins takes him in for care and somehow convices him to murder his wife. The ending is spactacular. Smartly written and moves at a brisk pace. Though this is one of Bronson's more obsecure films, it well worth for fans to check out. This one his rarities that he made while in Italy. The DVD itself is also of very high quality, which is a surprise for such a rare movie.

Excellent DVD quality.......2003-02-27

I am writing this review mainly for someone who might be wondering if the quality of this DVD is good or not. Evidently, the quality of two other older Bronson films,specifically Honor Among Thieves and Cold Sweat, is very poor on DVD. This is not the case with Someone Behind the Door. The DVD quality is excellent and the packaging is top of the line with photos from the film itself on front and back of the DVD case. Someone put alot of work into this DVD and it is well worth purchasing. After a dismal experience with another seller, I ordered my copy from Amazon.com and received it within three days and in perfect condition. I hope this review helps you.

bronson 3pack dvd.......2005-08-16

well, one can obviously not expect very much given the price paid for this dvd but at least cold sweat appears in widescreen format and has somewhat of a better picture quality than a previously owned dvd of mine. but unfortunately the other 2 movies are quite poor in picture and sound quality. the previous viewer pretty much described the movies' contents. hopefully, in the future, some other earlier titles of bronson will be available specifically riders on the rain.
