Never Mention Murder

A wealthy businessman is murdered in his study. His devoted wife, who has been suffering from amnesia following a car accident, becomes the prime suspect when evidence points towards her. A determined detective races against time to unravel the truth behind the crime and clear her name.

Never Mention Murder, also known as 'Face of a Stranger', received mixed reviews upon its release. While some critics praised its suspenseful atmosphere and the performances of its lead actors, particularly Vera Miles, others found the plot to be somewhat predictable and convoluted. The film is considered a decent, albeit not groundbreaking, entry into the mystery-thriller genre of the mid-1960s.

• Praised for its suspenseful build-up and atmospheric tension.
• Vera Miles delivers a compelling performance as the amnesiac suspect.
• Some found the mystery's resolution to be less than satisfying or predictable.
