Fortune Is a Woman (1957)
(She Played with Fire)
Country: GB
Technical: bw 95m
Director: Sidney Gilliat
Cast: Jack Hawkins, Arlene Dahl
Synopsis:
An insurance investigator meets an old flame, whose husband then dies in a fire. It seems they can be reunited, but doubts and worries are never far away.
Review:
Ho-hum crime drama, made at Shepperton by Individual. The atmosphere is fairly held at times, but Hawkins is miscast as anything but an efficient insurance assessor, and makes for the dullest and dumbest of heroes to root for. Greta Gynt makes entertaining appearances as a nymphomaniac incidental character, and Dahl sports an array of figure-hugging outfits.
