Not so supernatural, this one, but it's a fiendish tale nonetheless. Patricia Highsmith certainly knew how to twist the knife, as well as her reader's nerves - no doubt this is why her work attracted the attention of Hitchcock. It doesn't take the director's intercession to make her stories compelling, of course - though in this particular case there's no doubt that her story is enhanced by a superb cast. Anton Lesser, Michael Sheen, Bill Nighy and Saskia Reeves is an all-star affair - more so today, perhaps, than back in 1996 - but either way, it's a very solid cast...
