Alec B 12/07/2024 Its interesting how this intriguing set-up almost always ends with a lousy pay off. See more Steve D 01/22/2024 Fun mystery, laughable resolution. See more 01/07/2020 Reminded me of the White City TV series with DiCaprio playing HH Holmes, a real psycho character. See more Frances H 08/31/2016 An interesting tale, almost like a Hitchcock. See more 08/17/2014 Probably one of Antony Darnborough's best films as the pairing of Jean Simmons and Dirk Bogarde makes the story believable See more s r @ScottR 12/20/2013 Great thriller that makes you think of Hitchcock.
