On the trail of Hitchcock: Anne Baxter and Richard Todd in a thriller by Michael Anderson
While researching director Michael Anderson, I realized that I had seen this film a long time ago, but I remembered it as being well worth seeing. That's why I decided to write a comment on this British black and white film without re-viewing it.
South African diamond heiress Kimberly Prescott (OSCAR winner Anne Baxter) lives a luxurious life on the Costa Brava. One day an attractive man (GOLDEN GLOBE winner Richard Todd) shows up who steadfastly claims to be her brother Ward. But he had a fatal accident in South Africa a year ago. Kimberly feels more and more threatened by the mysterious stranger and calls Inspector Vargas (Herbert Lom) for help. Then events come to a head...
A mysterious plot, two gorgeous main actors, beautiful locations and surprising twists make this little film gem a great pleasure. There's a real buzz between Anne Baxter (1923-1985) and Richard Todd (1919-2009)...can that be possible between sister and brother?
A great film that should definitely be made available again!
