Count the Hours is a dull film, in plot and execution, though somewhat endearing.
The lead played by Macdonald Carey's rather unfocused, not worthy of the spotlight. Alternatively, you have Teresa Wright not being used effectively, as she has so much more range to offer. Verne getting off for insanity was a positive surprise that gave hope that there would be some sort of twist. That he wouldn't just be the killer, because that outcome's really no outcome, but it was. The bartender being the one that breaks it, just because they didn't ask him specific questions was weak.
