(1950) Derek Farr, Joan Hopkins, Peter Lorre, William. Hartnell. Top British noir! After his wife is slain in a seaside cottage, Farr, also a suspect, threatens to pin the crime on his wife’s lover. A mosaic of intrigue follows. Events takes place at a rollicking ocean town where Farr meets Hopkins, an enigmatic lady with secrets of her own. Soon attempts are made on Farr’s life as the police inch closer to solving the crime. Farr and Hopkins have great on-screen chemistry and Hartnell is brilliant as the sleazy businessman who faces ruin. But it’s Lorre who steals the show as a blindly faithful would-be killer. A must! 16mm DVD item #M518, VHS item #M518
