Movie review - "The Delavine Affair" (1955) **

 Peter Reynolds was described when he started as a "blonde Richard Widmark" and like Widmark Reynolds wasn't as effective playing a hero as he was as a villain. Here he's a reporter type who is investigating a murder. He's competent - I just wish he was more of a cad.

This is a little dull. Made with reasonable skill. It's only 61 minutes.

The cast is interesting. A young Honor Blackman portrays Reynolds' wife (would've been more fun to have him as a womaniser). Gordon Jackson is a suspect.  He was in everything, old Gordo.
