Footsteps in the Fog [HD]

"I don't know what I'd do if I didn't have you to look after..."
Real-life married couple Jean Simmons and Stewart Granger team up for this tight, compact little 1955 gaslit-era mystery, about the strange relationship between a murderous nobleman and his blackmailing parlour-maid.

Based on a story by W.W. Jacobs entitled "The Interruption", FOOTSTEPS IN THE FOG stars Stewart Granger as Stephen Lowry, a man who has successfully poisoned his wife, and thinks he's gotten away with the crime. But parlour-maid Lily Watkins (Jean Simmons) discovers his deceptions and blackmails him, first for his wife's jewels and then for the coveted position of housekeeper.

GREAT CLASSIC MOVIE
This movie is worth having, I saw it years ago. Stewart Granger and Jean Simmons are outstanding in this cat and mouse thriller. There are so many twists and turns, the plot is well planned out, it is well acted and well written. If you are a fan of the kind of movies that make you wonder all the way through how it will all end? this is for you. Movies like this make you wonder why some of the garbage today thinks it can pass for great cinema. It arrived on time and was securely packaged.

Great little Edwardian mystery
This is a great little Edwardian mystery film. Putting married couple Jean Simmons and Stewart Granger together in this movie was a stroke of genius. Not only is the acting superb in every way, there is a tension between the two pinciples that positively sizzles. Bill Travers (Born Free) is also a great second-banana in one of his earlier roles as a London barrister. You will love the twist at the climax. Everything comes together in this film and that is a rarity -- sets, costumes, acting, writing, production values, etc., all make for a great, fun, and exciting viewing experience!
