The Strange Affair of Uncle Harry came on during the small hours on BBC2 recently and I was pleased I set the video.
Harry Quincey works in a mill and has never married. He lives with his two sisters, Lettie and Hester, who is a widow. He falls in love with one of his colleagues and Lettie certainly doesn't approve of this as she wants the three of them to live altogether for good. Lettie then poisons a drink but Hester drinks it by accident and is killed. Lettie is charged with her murder and Harry and his new love go to live elsewhere.
The cast includes an excellent performance from George Sanders as Harry and Geraldine Fitzgerald and Moyna MacGill as his sisters.
This movie is a good way to spend an hour and twenty minutes one afternoon or evening. Excellent.
Rating: 3 stars out of 5.
