A widow is returning to England from Jamaica; she tends a sick man aboard the ship. She becomes her lover, unaware that he is a wanted criminal. She goes to work as companion to a rich woman.
According to established terminology, this belongs to the "gaslight noir" subgenre. It is a very well-made film, but I could not bring myself to enjoying it much. Maybe it is too conventional, or the plot fails to stir a deeper interest, or maybe both. It is inspired by the Charles Bravo case.
