DEAR MURDERER is a 90-min British film noir about a husband (Portman) who learns that his wife (Gynt) is cheating on him, so he returns unannounced to the UK, from the USA, and proceeds to ice the one lover, only to learn there is another.
Portman proceeds to display all his savvy about a perfect murder but in the end it is not so perfect and he pays the ultimate price for believing that his cheating wife actually loves him.
Interesting but stagy dialogue. In the end, it is the evil in Gynt's character that makes this film worthwhile viewing.
Portman, Gynt and Price all deliver strong performances.
Competent photography and direction - definitely worth watching.
