Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaInside joke: When the Police Inspectors are searching the flat at the beginning, they come across some photographs of the dead woman's boyfriends. One comments to the other that they might recognize some of these men from their own rogues' gallery. He pauses, examines one and says knowingly, "John Mills!" Obviously a tongue-in-cheek reference to a certain fellow actor.
- GoofsThe dialogue suggests that the film is set in a coastal resort near Southampton. But the map on the wall of the police station appears to show the Eastbourne area, some eighty miles to the east.
- Quotes
Agnes: You were right Mrs Finch - he has a one-track mind.
Mrs. Finch: Yes, and it's a dirt track.
Featured review
A greatly underrated classic
A Woman in Question (recently IMDb lists it as Five Angels on Murder) is a Rashomon like story told in flashback. The story develops after a women is found dead and police detectives question witnesses, each of whom provides a different account of events leading to the murder. Until the very end, the ulterior motives of each of the characters remain unclear.
It is a greatly underrated movie that is not easily accessible. Anthony Asquith handles the material really well and masterfully builds the suspense. In addition, solid performances are provided by the cast.
If you get an opportunity to watch this movie, do not miss it. Hopefully the movie will become more accessible in the years to come.
