nick s Great camera work, convincing acting and sharp script makes this an enjoyable watch. The ending was a little disappointing for me as I prefer the sleuth to use guile to solve the case. Also denouement and camera angles went a bit awry. But apart from those minor complaints, entertaining movie. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/01/25 Full Review John K A very enjoyable movie that had me guessing till the end, the acting and storyline is excellent , it’s a must see Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 08/10/24 Full Review Audience Member I really enjoyed this traditional murder mystery. It holds your attention throughout, and was certainly ahead of its time. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member I quite enjoyed this one, John Mills stands out being the cop who seems to have a chip on his shoulder and is determined to fine the killer, not bad for a Sunday afternoon Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member I wanted to like this, but I found I just couldn't get involved in it. I like John Mills, but I found myself not really caring about who was responsible for the murders. I suspected the doctor, and am a bit disappointed it wasn't him as I think that would have given the plot a bit more oomph. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member What a film. What a cast, John Mills as Superintendent Mike Halloran Charles Coburn as Dr. John Fenner Barbara Bates as Elizabeth Fenner Derek Farr as Mark Roper Alec McCowen as Peter Crowley Fay Compton as Mrs. Crowley Elizabeth Seal as Fiona Dixon Geoffrey Keen as Charles Dixon Margaretta Scott as Helen Dixon Meredith Edwards as Sergeant Rogers Harry Locke as Sergeant Beale Raymond Huntley as Dr. Reese, pathologist Harry Fowler as Bandleader Maureen Connell as Mary Roper Magda Miller as Molly Stevens Newton Blick as Assistant Commissioner Beckett Oscar Quitak as David Dandy Nichols as Mrs. Wilson, this is a great murder mystery, as John Mills sets to investigate a series of murders whilst under the spell of Barbara Bates, these films are gentle in their approach to crime, no blood,sex,or gore but still find the viewer left spellbound to this magnificent period piece, John you are so missed in film, as is Charles Coburn.
