6/10
It's all about a wild glove chase.

Warning: Spoilers
From fancy French hotels to the mountains of Monaco, this action packed adventure involves religious symbols of healing, human greed and one man's determination to stop evil from catching up to him no matter what it takes.

There are certain movies where it is plainly obvious from the opening credits who the hero is, and who the villain is. Obviously, Glenn Ford is the good guy, framed for murder simply because he stumbled upon the mystery of the green glove and got stuck with it. Now, it's his goal to get it back to the mountain top church where the bells have stopped ringing because of its theft. By accident, he hooks up with innocent Geraldine Brooks, all the while trying to outwit evil nobleman George MacReady, up to Hus usual sinister tricks, and determined to prevent Ford from completing his mission.

Sometimes good, sometimes bad, Sir Cedric Hardwicke is the picture of nobility here, the vessel through whom the vessel is told. It's an interesting reunion for Ford and MacReady, but sadly, Brooks is no "Gilda".

Some exciting train sequences are followed by the climactic scene on a steep mountain where evil and good come head to head. A bit too complex at times, this is entertaining but sometimes perplexing. Yet, the mystery comes nicely together, giving a satisfying conclusion that truly shows the miracle of the bells and the magic of the glove.
