CONFESSION is one of those British thriller cheapies shot at Merton Park Studios and watching it you realise right away just how influenced by the minor Hitchcock film I, CONFESS it is. The story begins with a couple of American hoodlums arriving in Britain, only to fall out, and murder ensues. A priest hears a confession from one of the crooks and is involved in the subsequent investigation. I struggled with this one for the dearth of action and atmosphere, plus it generally lacks the suspense that makes thrillers of this era. Former Paul Temple John Bentley plays the cop, and there are minor parts for both Percy Herbert and Patrick Allen.
