dr. morelle: the case of the missing heiress (1949)

aka Dr. Morelle.
"I've done my duty by you and I will continue to do so."
Dr. Morelle (Valentine Dyall) narrates the story of Cynthia Mason (Jean Lodge), an heiress who disappears. Could it have been her step-father Samual Kimber (Philip Leaver), who is over-bearing and resents Cynthia, or Cynthia's new boyfriend (Peter Drury)? To find out, Amy Frayle (Julia Lang), a friend of missing girl, decides to become the new housemaid.
Unremarkable thriller, of interest only to those who want to see one of Hammer's early films.
