Review :
Burton in an early amnesiac thriller
I saw this film in 1951(!) when I wrote a short review. Not knowing Burton's future I recorded that he gave 'a very sincere performance' (though I can't now recall his role), while Helen Cherry (then Trevor Howard's wife) *SPOILER ALERT!* was 'good as the villainess'. Star Phyllis Calvert was 'quite good' as the amnesic heroine, but 'sometimes it was too obvious that she was acting'. Edward Underdown (so good in 'They Were Not Divided') played her embittered husband, and one of my favourite character actors, James Hayter (better known as Mr Pickwick) was 'good as an army doctor'. I gave the film 3 stars out of 5. This isn't much of a comment, but it's one for the archive - and who could match it?
