I gave this film a maximum rating of 10 as I was shocked it only had a rating of 5.2 on IMDb.com.and considered the rating needed lifting.I saw this film tonight on Youtube.com and was amazed I had not seen it before.The beautiful Jean Simmons plays the heroine wife to dastardly cad David Farrar who is just out to milk his girlfriends of money to finance a speculative new helicopter business investment.I could not divorce from my mind David playing the wicked squire Jack Reddin in "Gone to Earth" (G.T.E.)1949 opposite the very beautiful Jennifer Jones, and comparing James Donald playing the boring doctor in the subject film to Cyril Cusack playing the upright moral reverend Marston in G.T.E.It was almost a revision of the same plot 50 years on from G.T.E.The previous reviewer has outlined adequately the basic plot and principal actors in roles better known to regular filmgoers so I will not dwell further on that.
I collect as many Jean Simmons/Jennifer Jones/Hedy Lamarr/Ava Gardner & Vivien Leigh films as I can - as you can see I rave over beautiful dark 1940s brunette film actresses - (I have every film Jennifer Jones my especial favourite, made).It was a pleasure to see an experienced producer Michael Balcon, director Basil Deardon and experienced cast all of whom were known to me from other 1940/50s films of the period.Being 65 I can clearly remember the London fog "peasoupers" of the early 1950s.It makes me feel almost wistful for those far off days.Unlike G.T.E.however the brunette heroine survives and we get a happy ending!
