Rent Double Confession (1950)

Confused? You Will Be - Double Confession review by CH

A train pulls into a seaside railway station. A man strolls to a cliff-edge house by night. Somebody falls from a cliff., and the man finds that his wife has also died. One would have thought that here is the opening of an engrossing thriller which highlights early-Fifties Hastings and Bexhill. Rare, though, is anybody who can follow the plot which gives the film its title. That said, why award it as many as three stars? For all the tangles of what is going on, the filming of the place, with a notable cast, means that scene by scene there is plenty to absorb the interest against a background - amusement arcade, beach - which brings with it other, smaler-scale dramas.
