7/10
Saw it many years ago and have never forgotten it

A very young James Mason plays a mysterious man who may know something about a young girls disappearance. Her friends try to find out what he knows.

I caught this on a cable TV station in the early 1980s. Back then there were a number of small cable stations starting up and they put on anything that they could get cheaply. The print I saw on this station was dreadful--VERY faded with some scenes so dark you could barely make out anything. The sound wasn't much better. Still I did like it and the final revelation of the killer (and the look on their face) chilled me. Also Mason was very good in an early role and it was a delight seeing him so young and full of energy.

This is a pretty obscure little film but worth seeing if you get the chance.
