Trivia
On this film's release, the director credit was given to producer Alec C. Snowden rather than to the (then) blacklisted Joseph Losey. Several prints give the credit to "Joseph Walton" - the director's full name was Joseph Walton Losey.

Goofs
In the pub with Evelyn, the bottle of whiskey is still filled to the top of the label when Reginald gets up, but when he sits back down a moment later and Evelyn asks for her glass to be refilled, the bottle is only filled to the bottom of the label.

Quotes
Ben Case: This is want you wanted, isn't it? Responsibility, running the show? You can't have that without paying the price.

Great 1950s studio based thriller

This film is one which I saw on TV many many years ago on Yorkshire and eventually obtained an American copy a few years back. Directed by Joseph Losey this film has great atmosphere and some great stars too. Unusual for the time there are good location shots and realistic studio backgrounds too. My copy "Finger of Guilt" is the edited version which was distributed by RKO but in spite of this I love the twists and turns of the plot and if you get the chance watch it vote on it too. This film is a high-spot in the history of Merton Park and shows what can be done on a modest budget with actors who know their stuff. Richard Basehart is brilliant as he struggles to solve the question "was it true" and Roger Livesey is believable as the studio boss. Look out to for a host of Merton Park regulars such as Andre Mikhelson who plays a designer in this film.
