This thriller moves at a snail's pace towards its very predictable conclusion.The first half of the film dwells on differences between American and British court procedures.This film was not only the swan song Of Robert Montgomery but also Leslie Banks.There is a brief glimpse of Stanley Baker at the early stages of his career.It is difficult though to realise that the Robert Montgomery who directed this film is the same one who directed the impressive Lady In the Lake.The fact that this was his last film wad probably more to do with the fact that he had bigger fish to fry.In any event at his age he was unlikely to attract many leading roles.Produced by Hitchcock colleague Joan Harrison.
