Movie review - "Portrait of Alison" (1955) **1/2

 Lively British B movie from Tony Owen, Donna Reed's husband who like Warwick Films made British genre movies with American stars. Here he's got Terry Moore, very lively as a good time model who is murdered, then like Laura turns up alive - someone else got it.

Robert Beatty, an American actor living in London, plays the lead. He's quite good, not a star IMHO but a decent lead, and William Sylvester is very good. Actually all the cast are strong: Moore, Geoffrey Keen, Allan Cuthbertson, Terence Alexander. Nice photography. Fast pace. Guy Green directed and wrote it along with Ken Hughes, who directed a few films for Owen.
