efficient and effective low-budget style, which makes good use of actual London locations and eschews anything overtly flashy Go to Full Review

tucker s Oct 11 Absolutely tremendous movie. Very highly recommended See more nick s 11/19/2024 Quite good production value. The director showed their hand early so there was no sense of mystery, which made it fall a little flat. At least there was some suspense near the end. See more Gary D 09/05/2024 Well made British Suspense Movie. Interesting story, and well acted. See more 02/25/2019 I love this film and the music in it, l lwould love to read the novel. See more 11/07/2018 Watched on the Talking Pics channel. Overall a disappointing film. Eric Portman is an old school stiff upper lip actor, which nowadays cones across as somewhat wooden. Nice little cameo from Wilfred Hyde White. See more 12/01/2012 Psychological thriller, co-written by Emeric Pressburger; it kinda sorta presages "Peeping Tom." (Okay, it's a bit of a stretch... but it does.) The ending is rather abrupt, I wanted more time to suffer with the condemned man. I love watching Eric Portman's face. Lately when I watch older movies shot on location, I tend to spend half the time looking at the streets and the clothes and the public transport. And the hats. Great hats. (Especially Dulcie Gray's "toy hat" in the first scene.) I think I'll go on an Eric Portman spree now. See more Read all reviews
