This is quite a decent little crime noir with plenty of scheming and plotting from John Bromfield as "Ricardo De Villa"; a man married to a wealthy woman (Martha Vickers) with a terminal health condition. When her new found marital happiness starts to make things look a little better for the patient, however, the impatient husband and his also married lover decide they need to expedite the process before she finds anything out. The story is quite intriguing, there a few twists and turns and the performances are adequate (not brilliant). I suppose the moral is, if something looks too good to be true, it probably is - and older women need to be wary of gold-digging youngsters with pencil moustaches!
