"Dear murderer", impossible to miss such a title, it's a pure british noir gem, with a tough nasty femme fatale played by Greta Gynt. British film noir is often more direct in drama than american film noir, and "Dear murderer" is a perfect example, from the beginning, it's pure noir murder and it gets more and more complex with numerous twists until the final terrifying scene. Casting is great, Eric Portman is the lead. Director Arthur Crabtree is known for two classic B horror movies, he didn't direct many cinema movies.

A nifty little British noir that is intelligent and highly entertaining. The two leads are excellent and serve as perfect foils: the multiply-cuckolded husband and his femme fatale wife. You will find yourself rooting for the brilliant husband and his perfect crime, only to be blown away by the twists and turns leading to a laugh-out-loud ending (spoiler!) Enjoy!

Very slow moving, but still compelling, worth sticking with till the bitter end, if only to see how it all pans out. Lee finds out his wife is having an affair, so he kills the man, and sets it up to look like a suicide. Only problem is, his wife has stopped having an affair with that man, and moved onto a new affair! Greta Gynt, looking a lot like Gene Tierney, is great, as are Hazel Court and Andrew Crawford, whose parts were unfortunately very small. If you're getting bored, take heed that the movie does pick up an awful lot in the last quarter! 7/10

Low budget noir with deep shadows. Greta Gynt is great as the nasal-voiced adulteress. Her tacky furnishings (lampshades like skirts and satin sheets) betray her inner rottenness - spot those coiled serpents on the shoulders of her nightdress! Eric Portman is as brilliant and compelling - and sympathetic - as ever. If you like this, see him in A Canterbuy Tale. xxxxx

Would you really do anything for the one you love? She's beautiful, your wife and you've just found out that she's been having an affair while you've been away. You've come up with an idea of the "perfect murder". It's going to plan... or is it? This is a really clever plot, you the murderer are getting a two for one deal because you've just found out your wife has been two timing her lover. The police will never suspect you or if they do what are the chances of proving that you did it. There is a great sub-plot which I never saw coming; my evil mind was not focused.
