Zachary Scott was mainly noted for his smooth sinister types. He famously got shot by Joan Crawford in Mildred Pierce.
Here however he is more of a good guy trying to unfathom and almost unfathomable plot.
The problem with this type of film is that the plot is so complex and a moments lack of concentration leaves you wondering what exactly is happening.
One thing you know for sure is that top billed Robert Beatty is not going to be lost forever. The trouble is that by the time he comes back into the plot you start to loose interest in what has happened.
So definately one of Hammers lesser productions.
