Nowadays people want to go to Mars, not watch black and white movies kept in check in a static thirty year box. Just sayin'. I like a lot of these movies.

Born Lois Obee in Yorkshire, England, Sonia Dresdel (1909 - 1976) was a prominent stage actress who sprang to stardom for her performance in the play Hedda Gabler in 1942 and she made her first film in 1947, The World Owes Me A Living. Now sadly long forgotten, she was an immediate hit and quickly established herself not just as a stage actress but also as a film star making hit movies in films such as While I Live, also in 1947. She had a long film career with her last movie being Last of the Long Haired boys in 1968 which she switched entirely to a TV career with her final performance being in The Pallisers, a TV mini-series in 1974. She also moved into theatre directing and another successful career.

What an intriguing film. A mix of bad with good acting poor with good dialogue and what turned out to be an interesting plot. I was going to switch off not long after the beginning but decided to stay and glad I did.

Have I missed something - Cowley was bashed with the statue by one person and then later shot by another? And the team of mice making the background noise adds extra character to the viewing experience.

That's what I was wondering tool. It seemed he was bashed in the head,, but we didn't see it happen so, maybe his favorite antiques were destroyed instead. (Or, less likely, maybe Cowley was dreaming it, or it was an alternative ending.)

There is more "Comedy" in this than "Tragedy". Eighty minutes well spent.

John Slater's American accent was very good - remember him in Z Cars folks? Pretty obviously a stage play crudely adapted. My how they all smoked in those days.
