Downfall

Having successfully defended Somers against charges of sexual assault and murder - despite thinking him guilty - the brilliant barrister Sir Harold Crossley employs him as a chauffeur in the hope that he might repeat his crime and kill off Crossley's wife.

Quite a neat and efficient thriller with some good suspenseful moments, especially at the end. Needless to say there's a twist at the end and it took me by surprise. Maurice Dunham as the barrister is excellent and Nadja Regin is equally so as his cheating wife. She wants a divorce but he doesn't want to as he values his respect in his society. Which makes the ending quite ironic.
