Finger of Guilt (1956)

 'Finger of Guilt' or by its original British title 'The Intimate Stranger' stars Richard Basehart as an American executive working at an English studio who is being stalked by or has amnesia about an affair with a young actress (Mary Murphey). Faith Brook plays Basehart's wife, whose father played by Roger Livesey is the melancholy studio head. A puzzle film,  I didn't know what was really happening until very near the end. I liked the smooth score by Trevor Duncan, which is rather different from other film scores of the time. The guy who plays Basehart's assistant looks like a young Thomas S. Monson. **1/2
