There's no way Kubrick *didn't* see this movie, if for no other reason than for Sjostrom's other work as a director and for his Bergman connection.

@daveholm You're thinking of the time Johnny Carson hosted The Tonight Show, The Johnny Carson Show lasted fro 1955-1956. I bet you weren't expecting a reply 4 years later.

I thought "here's Johnny!" was the "original" from Shining...

"Here's Johnny!" was a phrase made popular by the Johnny Carson show, which ran from the 60s to 90s. It was used in The Shining and is sometimes identified with Jack Nicholson's famous axe scene (which is why it's in the titles - to connect the two movies' axe scenes).

Broken Blossoms actually predates this axe-through-the-door scene by a couple of years. So, The Shining may referencing more than one film for its famous axe scene.
