While down-and-out American Casey Morrow is quietly getting drunk in a London nightclub, a beautiful blonde approaches him and offers to buy him a drink. After Casey tells her that he is broke, they leave the club together and she offers him five hundred pounds to marry her. He quickly agrees but the next morning, he wakes up in artist Maggie Doone’s studio unable to remember what happened after he and the woman left the club. On the street, he sees a newspaper headline stating that Darius Brunner has been murdered and that his heiress daughter, Phyllis, is missing. A photograph of the daughter reveals that she was the woman Casey may have married the night before.

I like this movie!
thank you 🙂
Shoulderless dresses today are mostly confined to Juniors because by early twenties, Sun-damaged skin is already becoming unattractive.
The most prevalent line of dialog in film noir:
You've got to believe me!
Well constructed film
29 minutes in – I didn't know there were electric kettles. learn some thin' new every day…
he still shouldn't marry her, be cause at the beginning, she pretty much threatened him in to helping her with that smug smile of hers. I wouldn't marry some one who behaved that way to me.
Spoiler Alert – I actually thought (for a while) that he was going to end up with the horse-faced woman with the heart of gold, instead of the sex pot.
Fun to watch Clark, who makes the movie tolerable. He has a nice touch for light comedic moments.He could also be tough.
Poor old Belinda Lee, drop-dead gorgeous and dead by the age of 26, tragic. The only thing that would improve this great little film would be to watch it from the circle of my favourite ODEON cinema, long since confined to dust and rubble. Thanks for uploading.
Thanx for this classic of the genre. Quaint! Will keeping get better with the presage of time. Michael Carreras had already got his act together before Executive Films became Hammer Films. They really did the best they could with very few pennies by Hollywood standards.
what a superb black rubber lined hooded satin mackintosh being worn after 29 minutes. pity it wasn't being worn in the rain. without the brolly
I know beggars can't be choosers but this has serious interlacing problems. Can't watch it.
Cool jazz singer.
did I see Alfie Bass x
is that a young Cleo Lane singing at the beginning?
I hate it that YouTube delete supposed copyright infringements and leave no information but – Deleted- I can never remember what was lost or missed, and it makes it difficult to be able to quickly re-offend without knowing details. Arsenholes.
This is a really enjoyable film, with hints of Raymond Chandler dry humour, never seen it before, great leads & Eleanor Summerfiled alway a pleasure to watch, thank you!
