5/10

"James Mason plays a Harley Street brain surgeon who falls in love with the mother (Rosamund John) of one of his young patients. When she apparently commits suicide, he investigates and plans to take revenge upon the sister in law who he is convinced murdered her. To do this he romances her to get closer. Odd little thriller helped along by the presence and acting of the great James Mason. The first half is frightfully proper, with clipped English and stolid English characters delivering the core background with the second half more enjoyable and pacy - the scene where he confronts the sister ..."
