Submitted for your approval are THREE CASES OF MURDER (1955, Toye, Eady, More O'Ferrall, Welles), an anthology film from Britain featuring Alan Badel and Orson Welles. Some segments are better than others, but all are restrained in that British sort of way... are they thrilling enough to be horror?

Context setting 00:00; First segment synopsis 32:04 and discussion 37:45; Second segment synopsis 45:33 and discussion 52:08; Third segment synopsis 1:03:13 and discussion 1:07:42; Ranking 1:14:47

“You know what they say don't you? Only cats and blind men can see in the dark...”

After being blinded in an industrial accident while trying to create the world’s brightest lightbulb hard-nosed inventor Richard Hammond (John Gregson) is determined his lack of sight won’t hold him back from pursuing his scientific and business plans. However he begins to suspect that those around him, friends, colleagues, servants, and even his wife Christiane (Mai Zetterling) may be using his blindness in a sinister plot to steal his fortune.
