User Reviews

good atmosphere, good story, good film

Here is a very enjoyable (and very underrated) little thriller from the golden age of British movie-making. I really don't think you could ask for much more when given an interesting story, an excellent cast and solid production values. It's one of those nice films that it is very difficult not to like.

Special mention must be made of the superb cinematography of Stephen Dade and the beautiful sets. These contributions will linger in your memory long after you see the picture.

I would have liked to see a little more of Robert Newton since he always gives an enjoyable performance, but that is only a minor quibble.

Seek this one out.
