With Orson Welles needing a break from filming his “Othello” in Ireland in 1951, he set off to drive to Dublin when he encountered a motorist stranded on the dark. Offering this somewhat reluctant traveller a lift, he (Michael Laurence) regales his rescuer with an intriguing story about one evening when he did some rescuing of his own. This involved two ladies whom he took to their home and accepted a few minutes of hospitality. Realising swiftly after departure that he’s left his cigarette case he doubles back - and that’s when he gets quite a surprise and we get a mystery. I really quite enjoyed this spookily short drama that plays a little on the dark and rainy night as a perfect conduit for a charmingly incomplete tale that left me wanting just a little more.
