Perfect "drawing room mystery". Understated loveliness in the slim, intelligent females. Each male masculine (a crime today) and elegant and equally intelligent. Clean performances all. Very enjoyable, and you didn't know who did it until the end. Classic endings are "Classic" because they are mighty fine.

The sequel made in 1955, Five Steps in the Dark, was not as well received. This was due to the absence of Norwegian actress Greta Gynt (born Margrethe Woxholt; 15 November 1916 - 2 April 2000) who was doing another film in the Netherlands. Hugh Sinclair (19 May 1903 - 29 December 1962) reprises his role of Philip Burgoyne.

A rich but disliked uncle invites his relatives to a family reunion at his home. Once the gathering is complete, he announces enigmatically that he intends to change his will before he dies, should not one of the heirs fulfill a condition. Before he can do this, he is murdered. His niece (Gynt), a detective story writer, has to put her theories into practice by solving a real-life murder mystery.

@hortondlfn19943 жыл бұрын
spoiler for those who are reading ahead: Phillip was the murderer. When he ran into the darkness at the end, he shot himself because he knew he would never get the inheritance since Henry, who had inherited it, had run off with Esme to get married. (If Henry were to die, Esme would inherit, particularly as Henry had given her a written statement that, upon his death, he wanted her to get everything he owned.) I think they only cut off a bit of a dramatic closeup and then the ending credits.

This is "rather" good for a supposed B picture. However, when one of the characters had a "temperature," it took away the poshness if the movie. The doctor redeemed the faux pas by saying that his fever has broken. If we cannot count of the English to get it right, what's this world coming to. If the actors do not know or care, where were the writers? Ah, they must have been American.

Is it regardless or irregardless? Elizabeth, it has nothing to do with what you think or what I think. Our lax attention to English grammar is a testimony to "anything goes American. If you are a true movie buff, watch early 30's and 40's movies...their speech, their grammar, their style, their manners. What this era preserved was the mores of society...a concept which is foreign today. Our "anything goes" pandemic is nothing new. However, it is spiraling out of control.
