Very Philomel Cottage, very Suspicion... The leads are fine, and so are the set-ups - nightclub, sleazy flat, expensive house in the stockbroker belt - even the glimpse we get of Milway's flat with its midcentury modern furniture and exposed stone wall. However, scenes are set up only to end abruptly. The running time is so short there is no time for, for example, the bridge players to exchange banter, the charlady to say more than "You ought to eat something, madam", the nightclub habituées to say and do a bit more. As someone points out - it is all resolved too quickly. Couldn't they at least have padded out the moment when Milway tells his story to the police - couldn't the cops have been a bit more skeptical?
There's a clever moment, though, when Oliveri gets Rona to leave him everything.
Agatha Christie and Francis Iles should really have got a screen credit.
