To me this is the film that should have set Susan Shaw on the way to fame and stardom. The film shows, in retrospect, a murder victim and the suspects from different perspectives. Depending on the differing points of view Susan Shaw is either a sweet, caring sister or a shrieking, jealous slut. Dirk Bogarde, with a dodgy accent, plays a bogus American, the characters' duplicity matching his duality. Reflecting the theme of Hamlet and later American Beauty, The Woman in Question is an atmospheric film noir examining the difference between what is and what appears to be. The denoument ( I wont give it away) is very surprising as the true sequence of events is revealed.

This is a great classic film noir mystery.It's a must see and highly recommended!!
