Cast a Dark Shadow (1957)

Cast a Dark Shadow (1957, GBR) 76m. *** D: Lewis Gilbert. Starring Dirk Bogarde, Margaret Lockwood, Kay Walsh, Kathleen Harrison, Robert Flemyng. Snappy little psycho drama focuses on Bogarde's character, a wife-killer who is saddled without inheritance and must marry - and kill? - again. Fine performances, notably Bogarde's, make this very watchable, though sometimes it's too stagey (it is based on the play 'Murder Mistaken' by Janet Green). Gilbert would later direct three Bond movies. Also known as ANGEL.
