“I say, do you see Chloe sitting down? She looks awfully queer. I think its something to do with that man.”Man.. this is a snooze fest like no other. The pacing is awful. Absolutely nothing happens until the end. I do like the premise but this a badly aged stinker from the Master of Suspense.
Overall, Old, boring and badly paced, only worth checking out if you wanna watch Alfred’s full filmography.
