To Have and to Hold

Sent to protect a woman frightened by telephone death threats, Sergeant Fraser goes against all codes of police conduct and falls in love with his victim. Which leads to murderous results...

There's plenty of deception subterfuge and double dealings in this Edgar Wallace B-Movie that boasts some strong noir elements and some grand acting especially by Ray Barrett who falls for the charms of the woman he is assigned to protect, and Katherine Blake who is quite charming and mysterious as the woman. William Hartnell makes an appearance as a crabby chief inspector- this is an atmospheric and engaging film, though it can be quite convoluted with some plot holes.
