Another wonderfully hidden gem! I love it when that happens! I happened to find this film on a very old DVD at the back of my cupboard. What a treat!
John is an expert code breaker. He lives happily with his pregnant wife Carol until one evening when tragedy strikes and Carol is killed in a hit and run.
John is rather calm in the days after Carol's death, and welcomes the arrival of his relatives to look after him at home, when in fact he is secretly plotting a way to find the perpetrators and kill them the same way they callously killed his wife. Will he track them down? And if he commits a crime, will he himself be punished?
The suspense in this is thrilling, and the length is just right. It leaves you wanting more, without feeling rushed, or too long. Robert Preston was excellent and put on a really heart-felt performance. Really, really enjoyed it.
