It teams the 50-year-old William Powell as the hubby of the 29-year-old Hedy Lamarr, and asks us not even to blink.

Audience Reviews for Crossroads

Glossy MGM drama from its glory days with a fantastic cast of expert actors. Bill Powell is urbane, Hedy ravishing, Claire ultra glamourous and Basil a suave villian. All acquit themselves well and are well served by a clever script.

Super Reviewer

Good mystery, nothing new or different but it's quite well done and with William Powell and Hedy Lamarr as the leads you can't go too wrong! Good screenplay, always interesting.
