An upper middle class housewife finds herself being blackmailed by a loan shark, but, fortunately for her, the man he sends, a small-time crook and loner, becomes infatuated with her. This Ophuls film noir classic is rich in suspense, strikingly photographed and features career best performances from Joan Bennett and James Mason.
Based on the story 'The Blank Wall' by Elisabeth Sanxay Holding.
A throughly entertaining action-adventure as two half-brothers fight for the Northumbrian throne. Lots of pillaging, axe-throwing, hearty quaffing of ale, storming of castles heroic jumping into wolf pits and manly talk of entering Valhalla sword in hand. Sounds like the Swedes on hols again.
