Nothing Clandestine About The Secret Partner ***, 23 July 2009
8/10
Author: edwagreen from United States

Stewart Granger turns in a very good performance in this 1961 film about a heist and who committed it.

This certainly could have been a Hitchcock film with all the turns and twists as well as the ironic ending.

Haya Harareet, who was so good as Esther in "Ben-Hur" plays Granger's wife, who leaves him on purpose only to leave him for real when it looks like they've gotten away with the heist.

Bernard Lee, M from James Bond, is effective as the chain-smoking retiring policeman who knows that he can't really get his finger on the situation.

This film is really another Witness for the Prosecution without the murder as you will be fooled by the ending. Remember how Tyrone Power claimed he was innocent, ditto for Granger, but of course the latter lives, though unhappy in the end. You will not be unhappy with this film.
