A ruthless tycoon, whom his nephew (Anthony "Tony" Richmond) hates as he had both deprived his father of half of the family business and had (after his father had committed suicide) married his mother. A nurse (Maria) from a poor Italian family, is initially hired to care for the tycoon. She initially dislikes him because he abuses his employees. Tony convinces Maria to persist in his employ, however, telling her that he plans to bequeath his entire (fifty million pound) fortune to charity. He plans to help her marry him, then to help him change his will, and (perhaps) then to help her achieve her inheritance, all for a payoff of one million pounds.

| Orlando SentinelCrosby DayHardly a feather in the cap of anyone involved, the film starts out well enough, but the last half degenerates into complete implausibility. |
| The New York TimesEugene ArcherDespite the fancy trappings laid on by the respected old producer-director team of Michael Relph and Basil Dearden, this handsomely colored exercise is the kind of pseudo-Victorian nonsense that Alfred Hitchcock long ago laid to rest. |
| User ReviewGreg WI love that movie. I always enjoy Ralph Richardson movies. Wonderful actor. |
| User ReviewAshley HI love that movie. I always enjoy Ralph Richardson movies. Wonderful actor. |
| User Reviewmonsieur rGina Lollobrigida is a woman torn between greed and compassion in this mildly compelling 'thriller' from British director Basil Deardon. If you can withstand the slow start the payoff at the end is... well... modest. |
| User Reviewjay nSomewhat overwrought sudser is aided by gorgeous location filming and a superior cast. Ralph Richardson is wonderful as the old codger, Gina full of fire and Sean Connery suave and silky in an atypical role. Not great cinema but fun in a melodramatic way. |
| User ReviewPavan RA good plot and good direction makes this quite a successful movie..and the actors definitely do a good job...love the last shot !! |
| User ReviewDave MAcquired a copy recently. It's not been released on DVD. Grew up with this film so a bit of a trip back to see how it looks now. I guess Ralph Richardson's character is just a bit too unbelievable, and his treatment of his servants is probably the reason why this title is conveniently forgotten. Connery is just in Bond mode when we know how good he really is. Lollobrigida just undresses down to underwear at every opportunity - this is not a criticism. Still, it's entertaining, only the Spain sequences age the film. |
