Directed by someone named John Harlow and released in America as 'The Spell of Amy Benson' so as not to be confused wih Hitchcock's masterpiece this film epitomises the worst of British cinema of the time. Apart from Felix Aylmer there is really no one worth watching. Derek Farr is one-dimensional and Hay Petrie irritating. Frederick Leister puts one in mind of a cricket bat. The 'teddibly, teddibly' acting, leaden direction and lamentable lack of pace combine to make this film a truly tortuous experience. A waste of promising material. Avoid at all costs.
