This action-packed thriller ranks alongside Hitchcock’s great British thrillers. When ex-spy David Somers takes a low-profile job in the country cataloguing a butterfly collection, he finds that dangerous work continues to pursue him. David grows fond of his employer's niece, a fragile, fey young woman named Sophie. When Sophie is framed for the murder of Hick – the spiteful handyman, he becomes embroiled in a murder mystery and goes “underground” with the beautiful suspect. The fugitives stay one step ahead of the police until the breathless climax. Starring the Oscar nominated and Emmy Award winning Trevor Howard ( Gandhi , The Third Man , Superman ) in one of his greatest roles alongside Oscar nominated and Emmy Award winning Jean Simmons ( Spartacus , Guys and Dolls , Elmer Gantry ) and directed by Ralph Thomas ( Doctor in the House ).
