| Jacqueline Ellis in ACCIDENTAL DEATH Year: 1963 Rating: ***1/2 |
Resembling a pretty young school teacher, grown-up girl next door type, who "doesn't look like the teachers I had," Jacqueline Ellis is a different kind of British b-movie starlet...

Meanwhile the most fun's had between the Frenchmen (with an on/off British accent) and our gal Ellis, also from France (originally), and they have a kind of lusty windswept romance indoors, where most of the story takes place...
A sophisticated DESPERATE HOURS without very much suspense, intrigue or urgency but is more a relaxing time-filling Neo Noir with a few twists and turns, including a lethal bicycle and an even more lethal swimming pool where Jacqueline Ellis almost winds up... the only character the audience, and the fellas, want protected: After all, she's got the most to lose as her bewildered heart means more than the old man's life, or the Frenchman's shifty plans to end it.
