This is a very cleverly crafted, properly acted and well written piece of British Film Noir that asks the audience to go on a journey to discover that there is no such thing as a “perfect crime.” At a crisp 90 minutes, it does not skip a beat and leaves its audience constantly engaged.
For a little perspective on how this film was likely received in 1947, I defer to the New York Times Review of Dear Murderer.
It is available for viewing on Netflix, via its streaming feature.
