The Hidden Face

Columbia

Nifty, if contrived, thriller. A young orchestra conductor's wife accidentally locks herself in a safe room in his mansion. To him she just disappeared. He finds solace with another woman, brings her back to the house, setting the stage for a tense drama.

Both women were beautiful...which helped. Cine, cutting and lighting were first rate. He was handsome but wooden...a real flaw. Fine sense of dramatic tension pulled me along in spite of myself. How was this going to resolve?

Not great cinema but worth a two hour investment.
