#DR CATHY WHISPERS GHOST MASTER GAME CRACK#
Joseph and his crack director Charles Crichton deftly overcome what are usually serious filmic handicaps: a story that depends on formal psychology, an episodic structure with isolated characters, and a starting-point premise - spelled out in the advertising - that suggests a tired cliché: a person investigates a murder that he could have himself committed. The offbeat mystery is not a startling or revolutionary artistic statement like Laughton’s Night of the Hunter or Hitchcock’s Psycho, but it does work, and it’s plenty suspenseful. But the top talent Joseph enlisted for his film makes a success of almost all of its dramatic and thematic stretches.
Joseph, a first-time producer whose experience was mostly in the theater his strange and somewhat pretentious screenplay attempts an art-film home run. The murder thriller The Third Secret is produced and written by Robert L. Trying to keep up a production schedule during the cash-flow crisis of Cleopatra, 20th-Fox green-lit a number of pictures to be made in England. Starring: Stephen Boyd, Pamela Franklin, Diane Cilento, Richard Attenborough, Jack Hawkins, Paul Rogers, Alan Webb, Rachel Kempson, Freda Jackson, Judi Dench, Peter Copley, Nigel Davenport, Charles Lloyd Pack, Barbara Hicks.

She’s more than half the picture here.ġ964 / B&W / 2:35 / 103 min. What I don’t understand is why Pamela Franklin, possibly the most talented and versatile young English player ever, didn’t become a major star. Stephen Boyd gets a worthwhile starring role, backed by some good names and a nice debut from Judi Dench. This moody, unsettling whodunnit benefits from sensitive cinematography, fine direction and a perfectly-cast group of players.
