Storyline

Plot Summary:

Kerwin Matthews, playing a dissolute drifter down on his luck, is stranded in a cheap bar in France where he falls for Annette, the pretty daughter of the proprietor, played by Nadia Gray. Nadia Gray gradually shifts the young mans attentions to herself, rather than her daughter, and together Matthews and Gray concoct a plot to help Grays estranged husband, now a homicidal maniac confined in an institution after a grisly series of killings dubbed The Acetylene Murders by the press, out of the mental institution so he can escape from the country.

So-so Hammer thriller

Handsome nice guy American drifter Paul Farrell (a solid and appealingperformance by Kerwin Mathews) finds himself stuck in rural France. Heseeks room and board in the home of the alluring Eva Bryant (wellplayed with beguiling sexiness by Nadia Gray) and her sweet, butequally fetching teenage daughter Annette (a charming portrayal by theadorable Lilliane Brousse). Paul agrees to help Eva break herdangerously unstable husband Georges (a suitably menacing turn byDonald Houston) out of an asylum. Sound good and exciting? Well, alasthis middling Hammer thriller doesn't amount to much because of MichaelCarreras' competent, but pedestrian direction and Jimmy Sangster'sstrangely bland, talky, and uneventful script. The key problem is thatCarreras and Sangster let the meandering narrative plod along at tooleisurely a pace and crucially fail to generate much in the way oftension or momentum; it's only in the last third of the picture thatthe story finally starts cooking to some moderate degree with a niftydouble twist surprise ending. On the plus side, Wilkie Cooper's crispwidescreen black and white cinematography offers plenty of breathtakingshots of the lovely French countryside scenery and Stanley Black'sswinging jazzy score hits the right-on groovy spot. Moreover, the castdo their best with the blah material: Mathews, Gray, and Brousse areall fine in the lead roles, with sturdy support from George Bastell asthe no-nonsense Inspector Etienne and Arnold Diamond as affable localconstable Janiello. A strictly passable time-killer.

You take a mans wife, Mr. Farrell, but not his money?

Hammer films are usually enjoyable, so I take the time to tune in towhat promises to be an interesting story.I don't know much about Liliane Brousse (Annette). She only made 12films in a short period, and this was the next to last one. She plays ayoung girl who helps an artist (Kerwin Mathews ) who is stranded intown.Her stepmother Eve(Nadia Gray) has plans for the young man. Plans thatinvolve her incarcerated husband.Plenty of double-crosses to keep you interested, but you are leftwanting something that is not provided.
