Alexander Davion and Barbara Shelley |
Although he's been totally blind for a number of years, Paul (William Sylvester of The Unholy Four) has a successful career as a composer of popular songs and commercial jingles; he also hopes to complete a concerto. His wife, Anne (Barbara Shelley of The Gorgon), a former actress who wanted security, has grown tired of looking after Paul and leaves that to his secretary, Joan (Elizabeth Shepherd of Damian: Omen 2), who happens to be in love with him. Anne has taken up with a starving artist named Ricky (Alexander Davion of Paranoiac), who has no problems sleeping with Paul's wife, but draws the line at murder. Or does he? Anne needs money which she can get from her late husband's estate, but if Ricky won't help her ... Then Paul's manager, Mike (Mark Eden), whom Anne can't stand, tells Paul that her saw her having a romantic dinner with Ricky.
Triangle: Shelley, Davion, Sylvester |
Verdict: Worthwhile British suspenser with good performances. ***.

Davion looks familiar...what have I seen him in? Loved Shepherd's intense turn as the reporter who gets the Hitchcockian 'Birds' treatment in Damien!!

Yes, that scene was something -- real "overkill," as I recall. Davion was a busy actor back in the day in both UK and US films, plays and lots of episodic television.
