John Cresswell adapted Janet Green's play 'Murder Mistaken'. Dirk Bogarde kills off elderly wife Mona Washbourne, remarries spunky Margaret Lockwood (good), then becomes entangled with Kay Walsh, while timid Kathleen Harrison toddles in service and Robert Flemyng pokes about. Good acting, engrossing story kept afloat by Bogarde's performance - because we can't like him, yet somehow, we don't hate him either.
With Philip Stainton (PC in Passport to Pimlico). Shot by Jack Asher.
Lockwood was in The Lady Vanishes and Night Train to Munich, then was in Gainsborough pictures The Wicked Lady and Jassy. She is not to be confused with Margaret Leighton, from The Constant Husband, Under Capricorn and The Winslow Boy.
