Hitchcock-Light. A blind playwright, Phillip Hannon, is sitting in a pub when he overhears a suspicious conversation. The two people in the next booth appear to be plotting a crime. Hannon informs the police but they are convinced his suspicions are merely due to the workings of his dramatical mind. Undeterred, he sets out to work out the mystery himself. However, this puts his own life in danger. Mildly interesting. The main plot has a Hitchcockian feel to it, reinforced by it resembling Rear Window but with a blind man instead of a man unable to walk. (Interestingly, Rear Window was released only two years previously). Unfortunately, that's where any resemblance to an Alfred Hitchcock drama ends. While there is some intrigue, there is little tension, as director Henry Hathaway just lets things go on without upping the pace or creating any real sense of danger. The plot is far from watertight, highlighted by a final twist that, while unforeseen, doesn't entirely make sense. This said, it is intriguing enough to not be a total waste of time.

...perhaps the closest Hathaway ever came to making a Hitchcock film.

I had forgotten how great this film was until I saw it was on TV today. Excellent mystery film with some great moments of peril for the blind protagonist. Wonderful story, expertly executed and some hilarious references to "blind alleys" and "blind spots" in front of the blind man, not to mention some "gollywogs". A reminder as to why classics are classics.

Great idea, a blind writer solving a crime. Great sets, probably all interiors shot in California, while some stock footage and one scene on the river Thames. Henry Hathaway was an allrounder as a director, and this proves it.

Henry Hathaway directs this thriller starring Van Johnson as a blind playwright who overhears a kidnapping plot and, with his fiancée (Vera Miles) and secretary (Cecil Parker), sets out to trap the villains. This is also a mystery movie, and when the plot is overheard, it will keep you guessing and on the edge-of-your-seat as you and Johnson tries to work out who is going to kidnap who. Hathaway's direction means the pace can be fast but is never slow, while Nigel Blachin's screenplay is very well written and the dramatic moments the film has will keep you on the edge-of-your-seat throughout. Overall, with the direction, performances and script all a positive, it means for one entertaining whodunit.
