A relatively weak who-done-it. Ms. Taylor is an American actress trying to stage a comeback after a personal tragedy sidelined her career. The setting is 1953 England. Her husband, Rock Hudson, is the film's director, and the producer's (Tony Curtis) wife (Kim Novak) her archrival.
Although credited as being based on an Agatha Christie novel, the movie was also inspired by the real-life tragedy of the beautiful and talented actress Gene Tierney. During a U.S.O. road show while she was pregnant, Ms. Tierney contracted measles and gave birth to a mentally retarded daughter in 1943.
If you blink you'll miss Pierce Brosnan in one of his first, and uncredited, screen appearances.
