Curiosidades

Cast a Dark Shadow is a 1955 British suspense film noir directed by Lewis Gilbert and written by John Cresswell, based on the 1952 play Murder Mistaken by Janet Green. It stars Dirk Bogarde, Margaret Lockwood, Kay Walsh, Kathleen Harrison, and Robert Flemyng. The film was released on 20 September 1955, distributed by Eros Films Ltd. in the United Kingdom and Distributors Corporation of America in the United States. The story concerns a husband who murders his wife.

Production

The film was based on the play Murder Mistaken by Janet Green. Green wanted Dirk Bogarde to be in the play, but he declined, and Derek Farr played the role. When Lewis Gilbert was making The Sea Shall Not Have Them (1954), he saw the play and thought it would make a good film, and he persuaded Bogarde to play the lead.

Bogarde helped get Margaret Lockwood to co-star; "I was dubious about being able to play such a character, though I liked her honesty," said Lockwood.

Filming started at Elstree Studios on 12 April 1955 under the title Naked Flame. It was Gilbert's first production for his own company.

"I think it was an interesting plot, very claustrophobic," said Gilbert. "I think it was the best thing Margaret Lockwood did. She was great in the film."

Dirk Bogarde later said, "The unwholesomeness of the hero was what was fun about it."
