| Not the kind of storyline you might expect in a comedy-thriller, but these writers fashion something memorable and affecting out of it, and (though it seems a bit creaky now) this film was a commercial success. Similar in tone to The Lady Vanishes , another Launder-Gilliat screenplay, this has an intriguing plot with unexpected twists in a style which has come to be identified more with Alfred Hitchcock than with Launder and Gilliat. Deborah Kerr excels in a role which could easily have been unsympathetic. |
