The Clouded Yellow (1951 Ralph Thomas)

An original screenplay by Janet Green. We don't think Jean Simmons is nuts; nor does Trevor Howard. Before long they're on the run from the police and the secret service (in the shape of nice Kenneth More) to Newcastle, the Lake District and Liverpool. Good on location stuff shot by Geoffrey Unsworth (operated by Ernest Steward). Good music too by Benjamin Frankel (including the piano pieces). Nightmarish ending.

Sonia Dresdel, Barry Jones, Geoffrey Keen, André Morell, Maxwell Reed, Richard Wattis.



It seems Eureka have improved their last release, which had bits of scenes missing.. but the quality of the new one isn't great either.
