This is the end of the disc

It is said that the original ending was: After the
mother found out the truth, she poured her daughter a lot of sleeping pills, and then drank the bombs herself. The mother died and the daughter was brought back to life. Personally, I feel that this ending is far more exciting than the current ending of "Too many injustices must be closed to oneself". It fully expresses the atmosphere of darkness, death, and ferociousness. It is enough for DISC.
It is estimated that the Hollywood film review system in the 1950s was still very strict. The ending could not be accepted by the broad audience who had good intentions at the time, so the director deliberately modified a Chinese-style ending where good and evil will be rewarded.

    6.1/10. ①The mother and the heroine gradually discovered that her 8-year-old daughter was an anti-social serial killer through a case of a dead person, which made her and the whole family fall into intense psychological struggle and chaos (the heroine even attempted suicide). At the end, the daughter was accidentally struck to death by lightning by the river. ②The story is interesting, some of the compositions are good, the camera movement/scene scheduling is precise and skillful, and the heroine and her daughter performed well. However, whether it's stage-style pompous performance or a lot of pushing the narrative through lines (rather than audiovisuals), it's a far less cinematic operation. Moreover, as a traditional feature film, the narrative rhythm is slow, and 0.2 is deducted.

    Doesn't anyone think Nancy Kelly is super similar to Susan in Desperate Housewives! ! ! Whether it is appearance, expression, performance style, expression, tone or even voice, there is more than 90% similarity. I even had the illusion that it was the same person... What is their relationship?
