Part of my 1960s viewing collection, Blind Corner was released in 1963. A British crime film it starred William Sylvester (Danger Man, Ghost Squad, The Prisoner), Barbara Shelley (the first leading lady of British horror), Elizabeth Shepherd (briefly Emma Peel), and Alexander Davion (Gideon’s Way). The film’s tag line - She loved one man for kicks, one man for luxury, one man for murder.
