This would have made a terrific stage play. I truly enjoyed this film which deals with the reunion of resistance fighters and the discovery that one of them was a spy for the Nazis which results in murder and the hiding of the body in the woods. Like Agatha Christie's "Ten Little Indians", everyone in this remote setting has secrets, and even the most passionate of freedom fighters has a dark side to them.
With a cast lead by Donald Wolfit, Robert Bray and Jane Griffiths, this is top notch suspense, well directed and acted, with a very good screenplay and the claustrophobic setting perfect for the psychological aspects of the story. It's the shocking revelation of betrayal that builds this up, and the confrontation of an unseen killer and their frantic victim is truly chilling. It's always nice to find an unsung classic, and this never ceased to keep me riveted.
