... a minor but impressive showpiece: crisply directed, smartly shot, handsomely mounted.

A calling-card work yet fascinatingly filled with feminist strands

Director Lewis, like his script, works to keep us unbalanced.

Interesting little British film about a woman kidnapped by a old lady and her psychotic son. At times very suspenseful, but gets a little hokey at the end. Good acting all around and George Macready is great as a knife wielding bad tempered maniac. It's a good story, but the film is just a hour and 10 minutes and at times a little rushed.

Great performances by the Late great Nina Foch (Frannie Halcyon from the first "Tales of the City") and Dame May Whitty in this short and sweet B film from the classic film noir era.
