After a good start where the blind man Chris Pelley goes to the wrong house and finds a dead body the film becomes less interesting, though it may be odd to say, when Pelley regains his sight and begins to investigate the crime. Particularly as Pelley is played by Maxwell Reed who has a nice face but wasn't much of a actor. Better value thespian-wise is given by Eric Pohlmann as the villainous (he always played villainy well) Otto, Patric Doonan as the 'helpful' Chalky, and in brief but entertaining roles Madoline Thomas as the house keeper and Ida Patlanski as the postmistress. Sadly Michael Balfour has a brief apperance and the comely Dinah Sheridan has a routine role as the love interest. The twist at the end was forseeable. Not awful but could have been better.
