6/10
interesting twisted thriller
18 February 2016
Anthony Richmond (Sean Connery) hates his wealthy, ruthless businessman, wheelchair-bound uncle Charles Richmond (Ralph Richardson) for his father's demise. Maria Marcello is the new nurse. Despite Charles' cruelty, Anthony convinces her to stay close to him and marry him to get at the inheritance. He dies on his yacht off Spain as they cover it up by sneaking the body back home Bernie style.

This is early Sean Connery after just starting Bond. He's got good sinister presence and Richardson plays a crude villain. Gina Lollobrigida is a little too much of a pin up bombshell. Her character seems more like an innocent nurse. Her acting is pretty broad. The movie moves relatively slowly. The plot is an interesting twisted thriller. This is a functional drama.
