Priceless

The first part of the movie is handicapped by an excess of voice over ;they are all the more pointless since there are only four characters in a movie which often looks like filmed stage production.

Obviously influenced by Hitchcock's "Rope" (1948) , Jack Lee Thompson (whose film was his debut) lacks his colleague's finesse and virtuosity ; but by the second half, the movie hits its stride ,and becomes a cat-and-mouse play. And he is helped by Dennis Price's outstanding performance,;the actor's face,often filmed in close shot ,reflects hatred,envy ,perversity ;unhappy , he really wants to prevent his fellow men from being happy themselves. Watch it for him!
