Deadly Record (1959)
7/10
Nice British mystery
17 August 2015
This is a familiar story line but done in a pleasing way. Lee Patterson plays an air-plane pilot with a wife who likes to party. She's found dead with a knife in her back. The police find her dead at the couple's home after Patterson has insisted she isn't there. This of course means he becomes the top suspect. The coincidences and evidence stack up against him. Are the police clever enough to look past Patterson as the obvious killer? He doesn't wait around to find out and begins to hunt down many of his wife's male friends. Perhaps one of them is the killer?

The cast is pleasing and as the previous review stated, Patterson gives one of his better performances. Barbara Shelley co-stars and she always adds a little class to the proceedings.
