Collective S 01/29/2024 A brave and clever film, dealing with important issues of mental health decades before it was the norm in popular culture. Also entertaining as a thriller. Some fine British ensemble acting and neat pacing bring this film noir together. Stands quite neatly against Hitchcock in its best moments. Beautifully and dramatically shot. See more 10/21/2018 Nice British film noir. John Mills is excellent as a former mental patient who is framed for a murder. A bit slow at times but quite atmospheric all the way through. See more 10/01/2012 A dandy mystery that is filled with tension and drama--British Noir!! See more 07/07/2009 This film interests me because the male lead is, for all but a few minutes of the movie, portrayed as either insane, suicidal, or both. As a story about overcoming inward as well as outward obstacles, I get it, but I'm not sure what makes the character so attractive to Joan Greenwood...or me? Perhaps there is a thrill that comes from having more faith in someone than they have in themselves. See more 10/09/2007 Reasonable-enough "innocent man wrongly accused" thriller. Hitchcock did that a heck of a lot better though, and the "Mr Cholmondley-Warner" accents are an unintended amusement. See more 09/21/2006 Another british film that everyone should watch. Especially as John Mills is in it. See more Read all reviews
