The 8 to 10 star reviews of this film are overdoing it, but it is entertaining enough if you like mysteries from that era. That is essentially what it is - a mystery, as opposed to a horror movie or a thriller. Another reviewer compared it to Columbo, in the sense that from the beginning you know who perpetrated the crimes and you followed the detective as he catches up with what you already know. That's where the similarities end, but that's the basic setup.
I almost gave The Night Visitor 7 stars, but a plot hole or logic gap that I couldn't get past opened up right at the very end. Regardless, the presence of Trevor Howard elevates the flick, and the plot is entertaining enough for a viewing, though I will not watch it again.
