I must confess that I watched “My Son John” with something between a smile and a half open mouth – I found some of it to be so strange! The ending was truly bizarre, but understandable given Walker’s death.

And yet…I couldn’t quite stop watching even when I snorted out loud at Van Heflin’s ridiculous comment on watching those surveillance films. If anything it must have been the dark shadow of fear that hung over the whole picture – fear of things we all take for granted and in fact we need to grow and change. That fear was hypnotic and kept me glued.
