User Review
British Hammer mystery starring Paul Henreid, Lous Maxwell, Kieron Moore, and Kay Kendall.

A prisoner named Speight (Moore), found guilty of murder, escapes and heads for London. His wife (Maxwell, Miss Moneypenny of the James Bond films), who has changed her name and is involved with another man, fears he is looking for her.

A friend of Speight's asks a lawyer, Bishop (Henreid) to help find him. He does - Speight claims he's innocent and is looking for the real killer. He knows what the man looks like and is determined to clear his name.

Okay movie - several have commented on how cheerful Henreid is in this film. I guess thinking over his past performances, it is a different kind of role. His fiancé is portrayed by the lovely Kay Kendall, who died a few years later from leukemia.

I can't say this film held my interest except for the people in it. For instance, this was Barbara Shelley's first film.

The small part of Rex was played by handsome Anthony Forwood. He was married to Glynis Johns with whom he had a son, and later became Dirk Bogarde's life partner and manager. He died an agonizing death, so traumatic for Bogarde that he became an outspoken supporter of assisted suicide.
