Movie review - "Strange Case of Dr Manning" (1957) **

 Dull British kidnap thriller directed by Arthur Crabtree who once enjoyed some hits for Gainsborough but like many of his colleagues struggled away from that studio.

Greta Gynt is blonde and not much more as the wife of a kidnapped doctor. Ron Randell is an American private eye who combines with a British doctor.

It's sluggish and not very interesting. Ron Randell's American accent was so awkward I thought maybe it had been dubbed but I've said that a few times about him maybe he just had a bad American accent.
