Black and white and gloomy!

Another of those grim 1940s films with good actors but awful tedium.

Set in overstuffed victorian London houses though I dodn't notice an aspidistra.

It is films like this that killed the British film industry.

Corrupt British Establishment in courtroom drama

This is a slow plot and probably sucks in people who believe sections of the British establishment are corrupt. Obviously this was a stage drama written by a practising QC who clearly had come across some real life examples of the British aristocracy more keen on profit and self rewarding than charity or humanity.

If you want a story that seems to suggest that there are immoral figures in the UK government historically and therefore it is perfectly reasonable that they exist currently, then this is definitely the film for you!

It really isn't that complicated, but was clearly based on legal process.

A bit stagey, but not too bad

Good if you like court-room dramas, also good if you like very long movies because this one positively drags - despite an excellent cast consisting of the wonderful Anne Crawford. If all the boring bits were cut out, this would be one fast paced and snappy little thriller. It starts off promising, with the murder that is done up to look like a suicide, but then fails to deliver anything quite as good until almost the very end. A little romance is of course woven into the plot, and most of the fun comes from young Claire Bloom.

Dated but watchable

Somewhat dated these days, THE BLIND GODDESS nonetheless works if you have any interest at all in courtroom dramas and the intricacy of the British justice system. It also helps to have a cast of seasoned professionals giving adroit performances throughout. The tale is one of intrigue, beginning with a shocking murder and going from there, and whilst not spectacular it certainly holds the attention thanks to the level of detail involved.

A Dull Plot

I rated this movie 5/10 mainly because of the actors & actresses in leading parts whom I admire, especially Eric Portman and Anne Crawford after their characters romance in "Millions like Us" (1943), Michael Denison as Algernon Montcrief in "The Importance of being Earnest" (1952) and Claire Bloom in her first leading role.However the plot is a dull one and too talky which other users above have noted and with their opinions I concur. There is not enough locational footage to relieve the somewhat claustrophobic setting, as the film seems to be 95% shot in the film studio.I like to see daylight occasionally in my favourite films!
