Featured review
This is a super thriller!
First rate story, with an excellent cast and a well devised plot, from beginning to end.
A writer of musicals is in a troubled marriage, so he plots a way to get rid of his wife so he can continue his relationship with her sister.
Some outstanding performances especially from the errand husband, his wife and the policeman in charge of the investigation.
Modern film makers should study the way this movie is presented: no unnecessary sub-plots yet a spider's web of intrigue with a climax that is brilliant.
Many of these so-called British B movies are far better than most modern-day new releases: 8/10.
