Entertaining, unpretentious little thriller – those first three words could be used to described many films from director Arthur Lubin. Stewart Granger gives one of his best performances (okay so maybe the bar isn't that high) as a man who marries and kills a rich woman - only to be blackmailed by his maid (Jean Simmons). It's fun to see Granger and Simmons together, especially in such a warped relationship - he's always trying to kill her, she thinks he's wonderful.
Quite a clever, twisty story, in it's way - no classic, but at least stuff is always happening. Some bad support performances from Bill Travers (lawyer) and Belinda Lee. I love the atmosphere of Victorian (or is it Edwardian) London.
