PlatinumRead Just so...so bad
Salubfoto It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.
Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
Yazmin Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.
JohnHowardReid Producers: Robert L. Lippert and Jack Parsons. Copyright 7 March 1966 by Lippert Films. Released through 20th Century-Fox. New York opening at the Lyric: 30 March 1966. U.K. release: 16 May 1966. Australian release: 7 July 1966. 6,872 feet. 76 minutes. Cut to 70 minutes in Australia.SYNOPSIS: Marie Baldwin (Marla Landry), desperate to escape the sinister relationship with her husband, Steve (Ken Scott), leaves him, changes her name to that of a nurse killed in the African riots, and marries Chris Aldrich (Trader Faulkner), a war hero and engineer. After a few happy months with Chris, she discovers that Steve has tracked her down, and posing as a handyman, has secured employment on her husband's estate! COMMENT: It's hard to sit through a film in which that unattractively wooden actor, Ken Scott, has so large a part; but Sidney Salkow's direction does have a few surprisingly inventive moments.OTHER VIEWS: Competent thriller, directed without frills and with a happy disregard for coincidence. The acting is efficient, if undistinguished... But the character motivation is sketchy, and the irony of the climax laboured. - Monthly Film Bulletin.
