I was drawn to watch this on TCM because of the excellent cast - Richard Todd, Ann Baxter and Herbert Lom - and was not disappointed. What begins as a seemingly mundane thriller soon develops enough twists and turns to keep you on the edge of your seat, and finishes off with a completely unexpected (if somewhat unrealistic) surprise. The acting is excellent from all concerned, and the pacing is superb. Also, the production values and cinematography are top notch, which is to be expected from director Michael Anderson, who gave us The Dam Busters, Shake Hand with the Devil, Mike Todd's production of Around the World in 80 Days, and many other fine flicks.
