One of the posters said that it was too bad the movie is in black and white. Well, it's on right now and it looks like it's in color to me. Possibly watched it on a black and white television? Excellent _color_ photography. Unfortunately the copy TCM owns isn't wide-screen. :(
Good early performance by Anthony Newley.
Sparkling, sharp dialogue.A good character study as well.
I think it's one of Ray Milland's better though lesser known performances, which is a shame. IMO it's up there with "Dial M for Murder".
This movie should be more well known than it is.
