The House Of Blackmail [DVD]

Product Information

Mary Germaine is great though, and there are some attempts at lightness of touch which raises this above the average B potboiler of the time. We enjoyed it from a film history point of view, and sat through until the end, despite a terrible print and even worse sound quality.

This proves to be a ride he'll never forget, when the blackmailer is killed by high-tension wires and the rider is accused of the crime. The plot grows increasingly strained as it strives to keep us guessing just who amongst a number of shady characters has knocked off the blackmailer, and eventually falls across the line.

THE SIX MEN (1951) - an old fashioned curiosity but we enjoyed the acting from Harold Warrender as the Scotland yard inspector and Michael Evans as his sidekick. The latter has a touch of Michael Wilding about him and subsequently went on to considerable success in the US, notably playing opposite Audrey Hepburn in Gigi on Broadway.

This is quite an entertaining little film, falling squarely into the Mystery/whodunit genre and not really veering anywhere towards noir or even thriller.

From the theme music I was expecting a comedy but it turned into an above average thriller I thought the 2 leads bounced off each other well and mary germaine held her own as genuine costar but the other men in the house were poorly written.

A fun little country house mystery which Maurice Elvey wrings as much style out of even though he is saddled with a hugely annoying and smug leading man in William Sylvester. The script is clever and witty, and we loved most of the movie, although the suspense lagged a bit towards the end.She insists on meeting the blackmailer so travels to his remote country house; en route picking up a curious hitcher.

Jimmy agrees to accompany Carol to the house and pose as her lawyer in an attempt to unnerve Markham.
