j F Jul 6 A classic "who done it "movie in the sedate and intelligent English style of the 1950s. See more nick s 04/10/2024 Nicely shot and competently acted. Quite a few unusual turns in the plot. See more 11/08/2018 Watched this one on the Talking Pics channel. Really enjoyable film. Full of twists and turns aplenty. Well written and excellent acting. You can't go wrong with Jack Hawkins. Another solid and believable performance. Good supporting cast and no need for a carpenter as the acting is not wooden in the slightest. See more Read all reviews
