A landslide hits a small Welsh theatre and traps the actors and employees who work there. A murder is soon discovered added even more tension to the situation. This is truly a Quickie Quota picture. Donovan Pedelty wrote and directed this low budget thriller. It is very stage bound. I know the film's setting is a theatre but there is little action. The sets are not very good, especially the landslide scenes which are not convincing. The characters are a little too one dimensional. Jimmy Hanley is the true blue leading man. Dinah Sheridan is the too cheerful leading lady. Everyone else is a little too clichéd for my liking.
I know I seem to be complaining but I did enjoy the film. It is a very rare film that I have never seen listed anywhere before I purchased it. The 1930's British films have a unique charm all their own. I am quite delighted it has been made available for viewing even if it is not a great film.
