THE THIN LINE

by Edward Atiyah ‧ RELEASE DATE: May 7, 1952

Peter Mason kills his mistress, the wife of his best friend, Walter, and lives a life of unreality when British justice does not catch up with him. Knowing his guilt, he faces his family-and Walter -- and lives in watertight compartments with each impact. The tremendous excitement of evasion gives way to the need for confession: his wife takes on his burden, as does Walter: drink alleviates but dark guilt almost fascinates him into immolation. His wife gives the coup de grace -- for good --for evil?
