Chase a Crooked Shadow
CrimeDramaMysteryThriller88 min
At her villa in Spain, Anne Baxter's Kimberley Prescott is jolted when a stranger arrives claiming to be her brother Ward, who died in a car accident a year earlier. Richard Todd is the polished intruder, and as friends and family accept him — including Kimberley’s uncle — her insistence that he’s a fraud leaves her increasingly isolated and unsure whom she can trust. The mystery hinges on a dead man’s identity, a family inheritance, and a household that seems to turn against its own witness, with the bright coastal setting giving the story a cool, uneasy edge.
