Harry was forced to write: "I must not tell lies" using one of her special quills without ink (the phrase painfully appeared in blood on the back of his left hand, creating a scar)...with all his memories here." Loomis' tale terrified Debra with his rantings about the haunted house and all the terrible things that had happened there - and she understood the reason why her husband's brother couldn't sell the house and why they were living there.They spoke together at a railway station cafe, where Phelps described how he had been wounded but survived the Prague operation, and eventually was able to locate Ethan when he returned to London.] It has been surmised that Sal Mineo's teen-aged character in the film was obviously gay and troubled by typical problems of in-the-closet homosexuals in the 50s - the film disguises his problems, but hints at the possibility that he is seeking out Dean's character because he rejects fake machismo.
