Murder On Monday: Review

starstarstarstar
Richardson made his directorial debut with this film, playing a bank clerk who suffers from amnesia for a day. This film was originally called HOME AT SEVEN in Britain because Richardson, for the first time in his life, does not return home at his normally prompt time of seven o'clock. He is horrified to discover that he can't remember the last 24 hours. His anxiety increases when he discovers that funds from his sports club have been stolen and the steward murdered. Afraid that he's somehow responsible, he gives the police a phony alibi for how he spent his time during the crime. But this backfires and he becomes a suspect. Convinced he is guilty, Richardson goes through severe mental anguish while trying to retrace his steps, until at last he proves his innocence. Taken from the British stage play, this movie relies heavily on suspense to carry the audience through, and is successful in this attempt. Richardson, with his usual subdued nature, gives just the right amount of emotional conviction necessary. This was the first and unfortunately last picture he directed, made with a low budget that proves that a good movie need not necessarily be expensive to work. The result is a fine feature for suspense fans. leave a comment
