Chilling classic mystery thriller! A young woman (Diana Wynyard) is slowly being victimized by her husband (Anton Walbrook). This was a very suspenseful film that was so well crafted you will be on the edge of your seat from the first scene to the last. Although the mystery is somewhat different from the ‘44 film, this version was well written and is perhaps even more chilling than the later film. Wynyard gives a perfect portrayal of a deeply troubled and terrified young woman, while Walbrook expertly depicts a villainous husband whose cruelty is frightening. The supporting cast was excellent as well, although their roles do not seem as vital in this version. Excellent filming and costumes that fit well with both the time period and the story. This version is also definitely worth your time! *****
