Content
A Hitchcockian thriller, Chase a Crooked Shadow stars Anne Baxter as Kimberly Prescott, a wealthy young woman whose life is turned upside down by the sudden appearance of an enigmatic young man (Richard Todd) claiming to be her dead brother. Convinced the man is lying, Kimberly is dismayed to find the entire household, including her own uncle, accepting the man into the family. Isolated by her fear, and fearing for her sanity and her life, she turns in desperation to a Police Chief (Herbert Lom) for help. But can they discover the secret behind the mysterious stranger, before it is too late?
Reviews
Lexikon des Int.Films: "Geschickt konstruiert, von guten Darstellern und einer suggestiven Kamera unterstützt, ist der Film (auf den Spuren Hitchcocks) präzise auf den Kulminationspunkt der Spannung hin inszeniert."
