By coincidence I was reading the iconography of Lance Comfort in the British filmmakers series when I came to view this film.Lance Comfort started directing A films in the early 1940s and drifted down to B features and TV work.Difficult to know why.This film came towards the end of his career.It would seem to be more of a co feature than B feature.It is a competently made film on a fairly familiar theme.Namely blind men in jeopardy.Here William Sylvester plays the apparent victim and Barbara Shelley the adulterous wife who wants to get her hands on Sylvesters money without having to bother about a divorce.However her ingenious plan to have Sylvester go wrong in a rather unexpected way.Incidentally there are two numbers by crooner Ronnie Carroll who only died a short time ago.
