Review of Account Rendered

A modest but good mystery film with a capable cast from the main leads to the supporting characters. The wife of a merchant banker who is quite free with her favours is murdered on Hampstead Heath. Was it her husband, one of her friends, one of her lovers or someone else? Detective Inspector Marshall and Detective Sgt. Berry are tasked with solving the slaying. Though am not sure what the motive of the murderer was, perhaps I missed something. Peter Graham Scott directs the players well and Walter J. Harvey provides crisp cinematography, particularly the external shooting. The overhead shot of the dead body illuminated by lightning is very striking. Worth a watch.
