Silent Dust (1949)
Cracking post war drama cum thriller in which a young man thought dead from enemy fire during WWII turns up at his ancestral home.
As with so many of these Network releases i really don't know what to expect until the stories reveal themselves on screen and thankfully this turned out a bit of a corker with strong performances from Nigel Patrick and Stephen Murray.
A film that seemed rather olde English during it's opening twenty minutes, slowly cranks up the tension as we leave the quaintness behind amid a strong sense of shadowy Gothic chills culminating in a psycho thriller esq climax.
