Chase a Crooked Shadow 1958 DVD (Region 1 - Playable in North America - The US, Canada, Mexico, etc.) Widescreen. Black & White. Beautiful! Starring: Richard Todd, Anne Baxter, Herbert Lom. Written by David D. Osborn and Charles Sinclair. Directed by Michael Anderson. Why has total stranger Richard Todd shown up at the villa of wealthy Anne Baxter? Why does he claim to be her long-lost brother? Is Todd planning to finagle Baxter out of her inheritance? Is someone going to end up seriously dead? The answers to these questions can be found in Chase a Crooked Shadow, a truly brilliant, confounding chiller with more than a few adroit plot twists. Before the film has run its course, we learn that the true villain is not necessarily whom it appears to be--nor is the heroine all that she seems. Chase a Crooked Shadow was based on an 1943 Whistler radio play; the plot was later reworked into no fewer than three American made-for-TV movies.
