the third alibi (1961)


"I'm just waiting for the right oportunity."
Norman Martell (Laurence Payne) is a composer who is having an affair with his wife's step-sister Peggy Hill (Jane Griffiths). When Peggy announces she is pregnant, Norman asks his wife Helen (Patricia Dainton) for a divorce, but she refuses. So he hatches a plan to get rid of her, devising a complex alibi for himself and Peggy, but the best laid plans...
An intreging little film, with numerous plot twists to keep you on your toes. Keep an eye out for an uncredited Dudley Moore accompanying Cleo Laine, pre his decision to take up comedy.
