Agnes Moorhead (Endora of “Bewitched” fame) is a sheer delight as a cagey old bird of a mystery writer, and Price is wonderful in his seemingly dual role. As has been lamented here before, the brevity of Price’s screen time is somewhat disappointing but that is the only factor which disappoints.<\/p>\n

I found this to be an inventive and disingenuous endeavor full of red-herrings and wrong turns. Figure this one out for yourself. Puzzle the clues, weed out the characters set here as distractions, look past the deliberate contrivances and solve the mystery on your own.<\/p>\n

Excellent entertainment with a splendid darkling atmosphere which I found enormous fun to view. While this is not up to “Gaslight” or “Rebecca” standards, there are many worse ways to spend a late Saturday night, or a rainy Sunday afternoon.<\/p>\n
