Yes, only an hour and 18 minutes. But would you believe it was too long? It started off at a good pace, and finished nicely, but in the middle as the two romantic leads began arguing about which of them killed Edwina it just went on and on. I guess it had to, but it got a bit monotonous for a bit.
I'm always very enamored with OLD British films, but this one is pretty decent. The plot is simple: A companion is suspected in killing her mistress with arsenic. But so is the husband. And the companion and husband are lovers. Scotland Yard to the rescue. But the crux of the film is the two lovers suspecting each other of the murder.
David Farrar is pretty decent as the husband. But it's Geraldine Fitzgerald as the companion that stands out here. I remember Fitzgerald best from her supporting roles in "Dark Victory" and "Till We Meet Again". Roland Culver is satisfactory as the inspector from Scotland Yard. I would have to say that Jean Cadell overplays her role a bit.
It's only a bit over an hour, so take a chance of this flick. Better than expected.
