The play is actor proof, and this has a fine cast, even if Michael Redgrave was a little old. Michael Denison is a lot of fun and one wonders why he didn't have more of a film career. Joan Greenwood is sexy, Dorothy Tutin bright and sparky, Edith Evans as excellent as you'd think, ditto Margaret Rutherford.
Rank's films under the British Film Makers scene via the NFFC and Earl St John were of solid quality, on the whole. This, The Card, Hunted... it's not a bad effort.
