Ministry of Fear [1943]

1. Cake crumbs on the seat, on the leg of his pants, on the floor of the train.
2. Seance: a circle. Astrological symbols on the floor like the numbers on a clockface. Dan Duryea’s fallen body like the minute hand.
3. Hilfe cuts the lights, dashes through the door and slams it shut. In the dark Neale fires the gun once. A pinhole of light appears in the door: bullet hole.
