Jevries: Alone... I was reading.

Of course, the main draw to this film is Boris Karloff as Jevries. This movie was made after Mr. Karloff's astonishing run in Universal Studios' horror classics of the early 1930s, and before his triumphant return in the 1940s, especially in the productions he did with Producer Val Lewton. In MENACE, Mr. Karloff shines darkly in his potential-killer role. You might say that he's "over qualified" for this movie, although it does give him a chance for some more poignant scenes toward the end.
Regis Toomey is also good in his role.
