There is a marked contrast between the careers of the two leads,Richard Burton,in his debut performance,and Emlyn Wiliiams.
Burton shows here why he went on to become a star,but after marrying Elizabeth taylor his career was doomed,apart for a couple of performances. Otherwise it was a case of take the money and run till his early death.
Williams on the other hand had been around since the thirties and would be around for a time after Burton's death.
As a writer he knew how to write best for himself. Thus he played maany villains,particularly blackmailers and he was very effective as such.
They both make this a very watchable film.
