Overlooked Classic of 40's British Cinema.

I purchased this as a reduced item in HMV, when there was one near me !. It turned out to be a very watchable drama, reminding me of some of the best of Bette Davis and Joan Crawford of the 40's and 50's. It was also produced at the Nettlefold Studios in Walton-On-Thames, Surrey UK. It certainly deserves a much higher IMDb rating.
