]At Detective Williams"" home after knocking on the front door and being greeted by Mrs.Williams, Jeffrey is ushered into he detective""s study, where a girl-next-door portrait of the police detective""s daughter Sandy (Laura Dern) is on the desk - her first image in the film.The film""s title inspired Paul Bartel""s camp classic and spaghetti western spoofLust In the Dust (1984), with Tab Hunter and 300 lb.]In 1997, the original 1945 pre-release version of the film was discovered - it was the film originally intended for release by Warner Bros, but shelved (except for a few showings overseas to US troops in August 1945).As they sit next to a gazebo, he tells her that he has decided to remain in New York - undoubtedly on account of her.Supposedly, it would be therapeutic and stop Tommy""s hallucinations if he verified that the killer Jason was actually dead and buried ("Jason belongs in Hell and I""m gonna see he gets there").
