Review

it’s a hitchcockean film without as much talent. it reminded me of spellbound and suspicion because you, and the female lead, are not sure whether the male lead is indeed the villain or not. this rendition of the familiar story is pretty well done because it sells the red herring fairly well. the more the story is able to teeter you between believing in the male lead and then doubting him, the better this kind of film is. acting could have been better. the score recycles some classic classical pieces, surely a b picture.
