Note: I am unsure as to whether my comments about Mongomery here are a spoiler, so rather than be blacklisted, I submitted it as "spoiler," although one would have to be a bit dense not to see where the film is going.
Now to what I gave to say: If you don't think Robert Mongomery can act, see this film. If you do think he can act, see this film. This is very close to being a classic, low key thriller with even an unusual twist about the dark side of one of the "upright" characters thrown in as highly believable depiction of the complex nature of the psyche. The other members of the cast, Rosalind and the rest, are just great. It seems to be in the Hitchock vein and to really outdo the "master," at least in my opinion. For me, this was an entirely different Robert Mongomery than any of the characters I've seen him play. He is simultaneously credibly charming and sinister. And I do mean "credible." He most certainly deserves kudos for his role.
