Powell and Pressburger's bleakest film was a financial failure and can be looked at as the start of their decline, but it still provided great roles for David Farrar and Kathleen Byron. They are assisted, or hindered, by their aging staff Peter Sellers, Margaret Rutherford and Bernard Miles. With such a charming cast no wonder this is so fondly remembered. Robert Newton, Dennis Price and Herbert Lom are among the treasure-seekers who converge on an Alpine hut looking for looted Nazi gold. It's slow building up the tension but runs along nicely for the most part.
