Venetian Bird (1952)
Excellent thriller for its period - early fifties

As another reviewer says this is something of an underrated film. More so since it was made in 1952. At that time exchange controls would have limited the amount of filming that could be done overseas and so much of it was studio filmed in England.
The story is intricate and the full meaning is not revealed until the final 20 minutes. If Venice seems harsh and cold its very much in the recovery from war mode yet the back drop is excellently atmospheric. The absence of tourists is refreshing. The films high contrast back and white rendition is also noteworthy.
Good cast....
Not hard to see why some say Bond meets 3rd man! Even some classy looking femmes fa tales!
