Chase a Crooked Shadow - 1958 * * * * 1/2


The Man Hunts the Girl, the Girl Hunts the Man.
Ok I would never have known or guessed that this was a B-movie until researching it online. The acting was really brilliant ( Herbert Lom gives excellent support as the police officer) and I was amazed by the story. I usually guess the twists that are about to come at the end of mystery type films but I was totally knocked back by this one!
Anne Baxter's character Kim retires late from a party to her room one night to find a figure standing outside her balcony. He claims he is her brother. Her brother is dead. From then on Kim must risk everything to make the police believe her before it is too late.
A really amazing film. The end will blow your socks off.
