Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Mason is his usual interestingly ambivalent self as a shellshocked composer in this unremarkable but efficient little thriller (adapted from a novel by Alan Kennington) in which he plays host one dark and stormy night to a young woman (with whom he falls in love) searching for her missing friend, presumed murdered on the foggy Yorkshire Moors. No more than a question of did he or didn't he, but handled with gusto and some style.Author: GA
