An entertaining film version of Agatha Christie's 1954 stage play about a diplomat's wife who hides the corpse of her stepdaughter's father. Though there is no Miss Marple or Hercule Poirot to push this programmer along, it still moves at a lively pace. Christie's previous play, "Witness
for the Prosecution," had won the New York Drama Critics Circle Award for Best Foreign Play of 1954-55, and was made into a fine film by Billy Wilder in 1957.
