When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
... View MoreThe movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity
... View MoreWhile it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.
... View MoreThe tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

U.K. release: 16 May 1966. Australian release: 7 July 1966. 6,872 feet. 76 minutes. Cut to 70 minutes in Australia.SYNOPSIS: Marie Baldwin (Marla Landry), desperate to escape the sinister relationship with her husband, Steve (Ken Scott), leaves him, changes her name to that of a nurse killed in the African riots, and marries Chris Aldrich (Trader Faulkner), a war hero and engineer. After a few happy months with Chris, she discovers that Steve has tracked her down, and posing as a handyman, has secured employment on her husband's estate! COMMENT: It's hard to sit through a film in which that unattractively wooden actor, Ken Scott, has so large a part; but Sidney Salkow's direction does have a few surprisingly inventive moments.OTHER VIEWS: Competent thriller, directed without frills and with a happy disregard for coincidence. The acting is efficient, if undistinguished... But the character motivation is sketchy, and the irony of the climax laboured. - Monthly Film Bulletin.
