Lightly-plotted mystery
22 December 2018
Warning: Spoilers
CIRCLE OF DANGER is a lightly-plotted mystery yarn from the great director Jacques Tourneur. The cast is a decent one but the material is very slight and probably would have worked better on the page rather than on the screen. Ray Milland plays an American who heads to Scotland to find out the mystery behind his brother's death during a raid in WW2. Various suspects he meets along the way include Marius Goring, Naunton Wayne and Hugh Sinclair. This is essentially a showcase for various character actors to strut their stuff, but the present-day plotting is very limited and simplistic and all the interesting stuff is merely discussed.
