Martin B Jan 13 My Lord that was a tortured watch seemed like it took forever to get through. Everything about it a mob cliche with an ending so predictable the only question was how and when. Biggest disappointment Ruth Roman. Playing an ambitious wife needling her husband to climb the ladder by killing people the biggest cliche and beneath the elegant characters she usually portrayed.

Douglas is fine as always as the tormented and henpecked central character but it is really Ruth Roman who stands out from the rest of the cast. She literally oozes malevolence from every pore in a great study of a remorseless, to a point, rapacious viper. This is a hard to find item that is worth a view. Grab the chance if you can.
