A lifeless English noir that deals with a wealthy husband, a cheating wife, a broke writer and the usual fatal results. The only detail that stands out is that this is on the shortlist of films from a writer/director who adapts their own novel, Ken Hughes’s High Wray. American B-movie mogul Robert L. Lippert, working together with Hammer Studios, almost doubtlessly worked that arrangement as a money-saving strategy while Hughes got some early credits in a career that would last about thirty years.
