The film presents an interesting premise centered on the question of whether two wrongs can justify each other. The story begins when “Mary” (Shirley Wright) is involved in a car accident, prompting hospital almoner “Mrs. Christopher” (Fay Compton) to visit her and deliver an envelope. During this visit, she unexpectedly interrupts “Sine” (James Robertson Justice) while he’s blackmailing a young woman. A confrontation follows, quickly drawing in “Carol” (Mai Zetterling) and “Dr. Freeman” (Robert Flemying), leaving them with a complicated situation. Things escalate further when “Munday” (Dirk Bogarde) stumbles upon the unsettling scene and then hastily leaves. As a police investigation looms, the individuals attempt to continue their lives as normal, but a chain of seemingly unconnected events gradually and somewhat anxiously unites them, forcing them to confront a difficult choice. While the concept is promising, the way it’s brought to life feels disjointed. The film occasionally resembles other Dirk Bogarde movies, and the reliance on chance occurrences seems excessive, leading to a resolution that's both lightly comedic and overly convenient. Michael Gough provides a solid performance as the ailing husband “Maurice,” but there isn't much spark between Zetterling and Flemying, and Compton’s portrayal feels like a subdued imitation of Dame May Whitty. It’s surprising that this film was out of circulation for so long, especially considering its cast, though perhaps less so when you consider the material itself.
