I adore these old British flicks. They have excellent performances, texture, props, interesting plots...all in glorious black and white. I can not stand Netflix productions...too "glossy" for me. Thanks a lot for sharing.

No one speaks lawyer talk like Francis L Sullivan, one of the greats of British film, he was great as Mr Jagger's in great Expectations, a great voice never forgotten.. 💯🎬🇬🇧⚖️💪

Classy movie. Brilliant performance by every cast. It's really unfortunate that why can't nowadays story writers can't make movies like these old classics.

What a delicious drama. so well written and crafted to show how love and trust are so easily threatened. How we love it when love persists, the full truth is revealed and the public servants do a good job. What a brilliant idea to let a lovely tune be the clue to a terrible act and to have someone come behind the heroine when she plays in the chapel . If music be the food of drama , intrigue , love and discovering things beyond , PLAY ON .

Just superb. Felt like I was watching Hitchcock at times.

@@mickeybitsko1676 Hi Dr Mickey, thank you for you gracious advice. Yes, my meds (films of old) certainly enable me to escape from the ugly realities around me. Allow me, good doctor, to confess. I am not blessed with the critical faculties of high-browed critics like those of the New York Times and others (like you) of that distinguished peerage. I am a humble commoner, the proverbial man in the street, who, after a hard day's night, looks forward to the prospect of enjoying a film with an uncomplicated plot line and believable characters: exposition, development, climax, denouement and resolution. My allusion to the desperate prospector is, of couse, metaphorical. In the final analysis, everything is relative - never absolute - particularly in the realm of aesthetics. I accept that what's gold to me may be a lump of unmitigated excrement to the smart fella (check Spoonerism) next to me. I shall continue to take my meds (chronically). They preserve my sanity especially when I awaken to what's being churned out from contemporary Hollywood.

One movie, with a great cast and story. Sullivan is one of my favorites, Goring had the creepiest Eyes ever and Greta is flawless as usual. TY.

MARIUS GORING! Even under that false nose he still turns in yet another incredible performance. Wonderful and oh so creepy. He pulls the whole film up a notch out of the mediocre and into the classic. He was the best.

Pure escapism...thanks for the download...the old movies are the best when you are my age. 70 plus .

Certainly one of the very best of the "unknown" actresses.... Such a uniquely attractive speaking voice! What an amazing multitalented Norwegian beauty in so many ways! Not only her looks, singing, acting...but her speaking voice is certainly one of the most charming I've ever heard. Hugh Williams, too, was excellent in this lesser-known gem of a movie.

Great and thank you for uploading. It's Ronald Neame's first film and unbelievably well crafted. Always a delight for me to discover a wonderful old British film of 40s and 50s and this one which I knew nothing about really was a surprise, especially after the wife takes it upon herself to solve the mystery of the victim's past and goes to scottland to face the real killer in a great suspenseful sequence in the country school, which is easily equal to the best of Hitchcock. By the way I also learned that Winston Graham, the writer of the original story, is also the writer of Marnie which became a Hitchcock film. And the train scene was excellent too.

Good movie. The story was strung together well.

So good - don't have words to describe the difference in society from then to now - I ask every day - God what have they done to us?

I agree with the person who commented that it starts slow, also without the stylistic flair it has later, as if directed by 2 different people. But the pace and direction get better so that the last third is very Hitchcockian. The lighting, frame composition, editing all excellent in exploiting fear and suspense. If only they still knew how to make movies this way, using these techniques instead of special effects or silly shaky camera filming to try to make movies interesting. Actually I think they do know these techniques are better, but it requires real skill and talent so they take the easy way.

A great film thanks for the upload .Well done
