Virginia Graham The Spectator This film is a moderately good murder mystery puffed into a certain importance by the presence of that ever-admirable actor Mr. Trevor Howard and by the simple attractions of Miss Jean Simmons. Jun 20, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews

Martin B Gets three stars for having Trevor Howard and Jean Simmons two of my favorites. But the plot is tedious once it simply becomes a get away scene. You want them to prove her innocence but it takes too long to get to it. Plus the girl is 21 while Howard's character is going on 40 so it's a little creepy seeing him drag her around for a good part of the movie when she could have been acting with a better script. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/27/24 Full Review Steve D Takes a while to get going but solid once it does. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/22/24 Full Review SICKS6SIX A very very British film.A who done it with some fine over acting. Trevor Howard and Jean symons star in a cast of British cinema A2Z guide. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/10/22 Full Review Audience Member The Lolita Factor (Older Father-Figure Male) Pursuing Hapless Naive Girl In Distress Plays Alongside A Lacklustre Fugitive-Chase Story. Much Of It Dry & Vaguely Exciting..James Bond This Definitely Ain't!! Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Somewhat Hitchcockian British thriller with fairly predictable ending. Not bad though. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member The Clouded Yellow starts off really slow. But then picks up when there is a murder. Trevor Howard was well cast in his role as Somers and played his part really well as a good strong character. But I wasn't quite sure about Jean Simmons who seems to be quite emotionless throughout most of the film. That aside there are many twists and turns in the film and a great ending, which does thrill the viewer!! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Read all reviews
