Sleazy, well as sleazy as you can get for 1954, tale of murder and memory loss. Lesser Hammer non-horror. For Hammer and UK cinema completists. Set includes six other titles from the same source. Never expected to see these on DVD.
-The Sloth
Clark wakes up from a bender with 500 pounds in his pocket, a new wife and a murdered father-in-law. Did he kill him, or is it a setup?
Not very good noir suffers from a variety of ailments, mainly a bad script with odd character motivations and some poor performances. Lee is very good, but like most of her films, she is underserved by the material.
