The Scapegoat**      
(GB 1958)                  
MGM/Du Maurier-Guinness. 92m. bw

An aimless wanderer in France is encountered by his ne'r do well aristocratic double, who takes advantage of the situation.
Illustriously cast but apparently a troubled production, well acted but not entirely satisfying on the surface, with Ms. Davis relegated to cutaways in a small role that would have better suited Margaret Rutherford.

Director: Robert Hamer.
Starring: Alec Guinness, Bette Davis, Nicole Maurey, Irene Worth, Annette Bartlett, Pamela Brown, Geoffrey Keen, Noel Howlett, Peter Bull, Alan Webb, Eddie Byrne, Peter Sallis.
