Neat little British thriller/film noir with some heavy American input (Dymtryk). Robert Newton shines as the cold as ice Doctor who plans on killing his wife's American Lover (Phil brown) by committing the "perfect murder".
Newton was the real revelation in this one as he is miles away from his "Avast Ye" Long John silver role. He out does James Mason as highly intelligent, cold as ice Killer who underneath is a raging mass of obsession and jealousy.
Supporting Newton are Sally Gray - intelligent and impossibly lovely - and Naunton Wayne, as the laid back, pipe smoking Scotland Yard detective. Phil Brown is good as the Gray's lover but is overshadowed at times by Monty the dog.
Very enjoyable.
