Line 7:
 
{{tropelist}}
 
* [[Adults Are Useless]]: Pretty much everyone except Rachel {{spoiler|and even she admits she "lost her son's love" a long time ago.}}
** Especially Willa, who {{spoiler|doesn't lift a hand in her own defense when Harry kills her, despite knowing full well he's likely to kill her children next.}}
Line 22 ⟶ 21:
* [[Determinator]]: John will do anything to keep his father's secret.
* [[Devil in Plain Sight]]
* [[Executive Meddling]]: Which he never outright stated it, it's clear that [[Charles Laughton]] had a different ending intended than the one that was seen on-screen, which borders almost on a [[Big Lipped Alligator Moment|BLAM]] at times. Because of the Hays Code, he had to make hasty edits to make it up to their standards.
* [[Fille Fatale]]: Ruby, who has some serious psychological problems.
* [[Flashback Echo]]: Done more subtly than many recent cases. At the end of the film when {{spoiler|Harry is being arrested}}, John's freak-out, begging them not to take him away, and {{spoiler|throwing the money}}, echoes what he was feeling but didn't fully express when his father was being arrested at the [[Book Ends|beginning of the film.]]
