Curiously enough as Merton Park wound down it's production slate of Edgar Wallace adaptations the films actually got better and better. Witness this enigmatic, darkly photographed triangle drama lurking behind a rather commonplace title that even at the time drew plaudits from critics. Alan Bridges later went on to eminence in TV but looking back his two second features now easily belong with his best work. Anthony Bate and John Carson are both quietly excellent, Justine Lord is elegant as the woman who may or not be at the centre of a plot (actually appearing nude at one point) while even Dandy Nichols is allowed a uncharacteristically offbeat role as a professional criminal.
