7/10
So many reveals, but are they all for real?
16 July 2022
This is a good suspenseful mystery that grabbed me from the very beginning and never let me go. Sharon (Mala Powers) is seen at a rail station being given instructions to travel to San Francisco in the opening scene. She has a shock awaiting for her in her booked 4B sleeper compartment on the train when a man with a gun is waiting for her. A woman is lying on the floor who Sharon takes as being murdered. Sharon is knocked out by a heavy slug from a gun in the hands of the mysterious intruder. When she recovers consciousness, she undergoes a series of bizarre incidents starting with an arrest by a man calling himself a policeman. The mystery continues with reveal after reveal, only we can never be sure that any reveal is genuine. She enlists the help of a good samaritan in the guise of Paul Colbert (Jacques Bergerac). He manages to elicit some details of Sharon's past but it becomes obvious she isn't declaring everything. There are twists and turns in the story in which we get the impression that Sharon is being gaslit by individuals who are using information about her from her past. Mala Powers gives a good performance in this one and only release from Scaramouche Productions.
