When I first saw this movie, I missed the first section and only watched it from where he regained conscious in hospital, and followed it form there. So the suspense was in real time as the movie progressed. I was unsure the most of the way through it as to the sincerity of the part played by Mary Tyler Moore, and only when the film gathered pace did it become clear where her allegiance stood. It was a while until it appeared on TV again and when it did I was able to watch it from the beginning and followed it with great interest. What a great movie. Since this last time I saw it which was about twenty or more years ago I have looked in every newspaper TV section hoping I would be able to see it again but alas this at present has not been successful. I'm sure one day I will view it again. Lets have a DVD of the movie.

I remember seeing this as a kid and thought it was one of the best movies I'd ever seen. I saw it again as an adult and still thought it great. I'm with the guy above...I'd LOVE to be able to buy this movie. I hate it that "made for TV movies" are so hard to get on VHS or DVD! By the way, when watching Mary Tyler Moore, I never ONCE thought of Laura Petrie!!! She underplays her role to perfection! And Louis Jordan - OOH LAH LAH! I'd hadn't seen Gigi yet so I didn't know that the term "Tall, Dark & Handsome" was written first for Mr. Jordan. Alexander Knox has such a great voice. But you never even suspect that he's in on it until you hear that unmistakable voice right at the climactic moment of revelation!

It's a weekly ritual. I have to check the TV guide to see if any channel is showing this classic. I'm watching for it on Ebay. Next, I'm hiring a private detective. I have to find a copy of this film, which kept me company when I was off school in the 70's. It's typical of it's era as I recall, relying on plot and acting ability over effects and gore.It's been so long since I saw it, that I've actually forgotten the main story. All i remember is, there are some stunning locations, Louis Jourdan has lost his memory and he asks about a key, which signals the return of said lost memory and the beginning of his troubles. Help! I need to find a copy. It's a classic.

Great movie! Intelligent plot and a treasure chest of acting talent in the likes of Holloway, Howard, Naismith, et all. I saw this movie upon its release and it still rivets me to my seat. The magic of this movie whisked me away from the tedium of 1960's mid-America to the beautiful European locations on which it was shot and allowed me to escape into intrigue, suspense and danger for a few hours. This might have been considered a mid-budget level British production, but my biased opinion is that their mid level movies beat most of our A-productions in quality. It is my hope that this fine production is released on DVD very soon.
