| Filmcritic.comJay Antanithe quintessential British murder mystery of the period. |
| Film4Laura BushellA hugely likeable gem of postwar British film. |
| Monthly Film BulletinMFB CriticsThough the story has plenty of improbabilities when considered in cold blood, this thriller holds one well when on the screen. |
| VarietyVariety StaffThe plot is too laboriously constructed, and the reason for the murders appears too incredible. |
| User ReviewStuart DOne of the best who done its of the 20th century as voted by somebody. I agree. |
| User ReviewSam LAn amazing thriller, it's on the same par with Hitchcock. |
| User ReviewWendye KI really liked this movie. The narrator is the Inspector and I think it's told very well. |
| User ReviewTrevor CIt's your basic "Clue" murder mystery thriller with masterful suspense, which is to be expected from most films like this, and is pretty common, but unlike most other thrillers from this era of film, the truth behind the mystery is most unexpected. Up until the end there are only three characters that really seem built up to be the murderer, and yet, with excellent writing, the story's twist is surprising. The acting is fantastic and the camerawork at times succeeds in creating an uneasy feeling. For fans of Hitchcock's films (this is a lot like something from Hitchcock, himself) or murder mysteries in general. It really succeeds in remaining intriguing, instead of degrading into something we've all seen before. |
