OK film but Milland rather miscast., 2 March 2002
Author: Peter Yates (peterjamesyates@hotmail.com) from Leeds, Yorkshire, UK

Quite an enjoyable second feature, although the star actor was too old for the Colley Dawson role. Reliable support from character actors like Ernest Clark and Victor Maddern.
