Collective S 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. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/29/24 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member A dandy mystery that is filled with tension and drama--British Noir!! Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Another british film that everyone should watch. Especially as John Mills is in it.
