They Met in the Dark (1943)
James Mason Joyce Howard David Farrar Edward Rigby Phyllis Stanley Ronald Ward Finlay Currie Directed by Karel Lamac A wartime espionage drama based on the novel "The Vanished Corpse" by Anthony Gilbert (a pseudonym used by Lucy Malleson, cousin of the actor Miles Malleson). There are capable performances from all involved but it’s Tom Walls, who steals the limelight when cast against type as a charming villain. Supervising editor was Terence Fisher who would later go on to greater fame as a director for Hammer studios. Set during WWII. Mary, an attractive female enemy agent pretending to be the manicurist girlfriend of respected naval commander Richard Heritage (James Mason) plants false orders on him, and as a consequence a merchant ship is lost through the lack of a convoy escort. Heritage is court-martialled, found guilty of disobeying orders and dismissed from service. He returns to civilian life determined to prove his innocence and clear his name. He tracks the beautiful femme fatale to Blackpool, and is given a message to meet Mary at the Bell and Dragon inn. She’s not there but Heritage is directed to a remote house on the coast called Orchard Cottage. Heritage visits the cottage during a stormy night but discovers her dead body in one of the bedrooms. Entering the house moments later is Laura Verity (Joyce Howard), and after some initial misunderstandings they join forces to solve the murder. 95 mins Check out my other items!
