Historically of interest as marking Herbert Lom probably at his least hirsute (it's even mentioned in the film) before shaving his head completely to play in 'The King and I' on the West End Stage in 1955. (Marianne Stone is also in it before she had her nose job.
Quite a bit of effort was made to build this up as Ginger Rogers' first British Picture. Despite a good cast, and classy settings and photography - though it would have been better in colour - this melodrama never really grips as it should.
Lively and Lovely to Look at Movie that moves rapidly here and there with Everyone trying to figure out Who is Who and What is What and is breathless to say the least. The Cast, including the Dramatization of Ginger Rogers Career is OK if nothing remarkable.
Ginger Rogers stars with Stanley Baker and Herbert Lom in "Twist of Fate," a 1954 film shot on location in the Riviera. Even in black and white, the scenery is wonderful.
Ginger Rogers stars in this portmanteau of romance and thriller, which is called "Beautiful Stranger" on the title. Eddie Byrne is his usual disreputable self - "I stole it, I'm innocent".
Loved it but it was tooooo drawn out and when it finally got good it ended!!! I have it a 7 because it has a great story line, but to many open ends at the end of the movie!!!!!
This is one of those films where the longer it runs the less it holds your interest.Stanley Baker is the star on the way up and Ginger Rogers on the way down.
This movie was indeed underrated. It of course, has been a good while since I have seen it, but I was glued to the TV set.
Main characters were ok. The Actor that played Tom, he's just awful.
