John Dickson Carr was a prolific and well-regarded mystery writer during the 1930's and 1940's, and he ended up penning quite a few episodes of the original SUSPENSE. This is an adaptation of one of them, 'The Devil's Saint', and it stays pretty close to the original- with just one exception. Won't reveal what that is, but let's just say that it cleans up a questionable plot point in Carr's original and does so very neatly. Solid performances all around...Daamen Krall steps into a role first played by Peter Lorre, and pulls it off without sounding like a caricature. Christopher Duva plays well as a lovestruck English lord, while Adrienne Wilkinson's Ilsa Kohary is wonderful in multiple ways. Possibly a match for the original- well done.
