When her best friend is murdered, "Rose" (Peggy Cummins) reckons she knows who did the killing. Her approach to "Michael" (Victor Mature) gets rebuffed and indeed the police investigation led by "Insp. Clinner" (Vincent Price) seems to further exonerate him, but she persists and finally touches enough nerves to get an invitation to the man's stately home where his mother "Lady Margaret" (Ethel Barrymore) keeps a fine collection of Devonshire flowers. What's that to do with anything? Well by her body there was a bible in which was pressed this very specific type of rose. Just because they have fled the city doesn't stop the body count amounting, and the question for "Rose" is - can she stay alive long enough to discover just who is behind these crimes - and why? Gregory Ratoff manages to get just an hint of charisma from the usually wooden Mature and to merge a little romance into the thrust of this quite intriguing mystery that stays worth following pretty much right until the denouement with a solid effort from Barrymore, too. It's an entertaining eighty minutes of well made and written cinema mystery that I quite enjoyed.
