Richard Logan (William Franklyn) wakes on waste ground in Wapping, with no recollection as to how he got there. On returning home he’s told that he went to work three weeks previously and never returned. He realises that he's got selective amnesia and is told that he is a partner in a safe making firm. Could it be that there is a connection between these two facts? His wife then informs him that she sent a private detective to find him, and he was murdered three days ago, in Wapping! Then the phone rings, it’s a woman who makes out like she’s his mistress, but Richard denies having a mistress...things are getting trickier and Richard is determined to find out what he’s been doing for the last three weeks. All the while being questioned by his suspicious wife (Moira Redmond), and his doctor (Nigel Green).A taut little thriller, with some nice dialogue, a strong cast and no nonsense direction.
Watch out for this coming out on DVD soon. Renown pictures are rolling out this and lots of interesting small British films, that are well worth looking into. Some good, like this one. Some bad, but all interesting and giving a glimpse into a long gone Britain.
