Comment
A wealthy woman (Anne Baxter) lives in a villa in a Spanish village, but one day a man (Richard Todd) claiming to be her dead brother arrives. No one believes her that he is not her brother and it becomes clear that he and the woman (Faith Brook) he has brought with him have a hidden motive as she gradually starts to question her sanity. This is a well scripted piece of suspense that builds well to a good twist. Anne Baxter is good in the lead role with good support from Richard Todd and Herbert Lom.
