(Her mastery of a "posh" accent caused her to be typecast as British in Hollywood films starting in the 1940s.) Filming occurred at Bray Studios in Berkshire. Nicol and Brooke were the only Americans in the cast, although Brooke played a British character, as she did in most films. The film was based on a novel by Ken Hughes, High Wray, published in 1952. Mark decides to confess, thinking that, although it will probably mean a prison sentence for him, it will mean the rope for Carol. Mark angrily confronts her, but she sneers that she only used him and that there is nothing he can do about it without implicating himself. However, after the coroner rules the death an accident, Mark does not hear from her, but the still suspicious CID inspector on the case arranges for Mark to find out that Carol has secretly married another old flame and changed residences. When Beverly is badly injured by a fall on his boat, Carol fails to persuade Mark to throw him overboard, so Carol does it.Īfter first refusing to go along with her plan to call it an accident, Mark agrees when Carol tells him that they will meet up again later and live off her dead husband's money. An American pulp novelist, Mark Kendrick (Nicol), meets his rich neighbours across the lake and is soon seduced by beautiful blonde Carol (Brooke), the wife of Beverly Forrest (James), despite Beverly treating him as a friend.
