Rogue's Yarn (1957)
5/10
A good start, but then a boring middle and conclusion.

Warning: Spoilers
John Marsden comes up with a master plan to murder his invalid wife Hester, and start a new life with his striking French Mistress Michele. Hot on his heels is Inspector Walker, who does everything he can to unpick the web Marsden has spun.

It's a highly intriguing concept, as utterly unfeasible as the plot may be, it's still interesting enough. I find it more then difficult to believe that his boat would not have hit an unsuspecting bystander within ten minutes.

The beginning is really enjoyable, I like the plot set up, the characters (even if some of the acting is a little ropy,) the trouble is after the first 25 minutes the film did not keep my attention, it became a little boring, once the M.O was discovered all the intrigue disappeared. The music was overpowering.

I found myself using the fast forward button, 5/10
