★★★★ · Eric Ambler didn't just write spy novels · Joseph L. Mangina · 2022-05-31
John Mills and Joan Greenwood both excellent in this atmospheric classic by Eric Ambler. Recovering after a nervous breakdown, Mills goes to live in a boarding house where he meets a colorful cast of characters, including the wonderfully creepy Edward Chapman.
