THE MAN WITH A CLOAK
(M.G.M.) ILLED as a fast-moving thriller, The Man with a Cloak looks like becoming one, with the domestic staff plotting the liquidation of the old man.

The old man.(a sound piece of work by Louis Calhern) is an alcoholic and a very ill-tempered Frenchman living in New York a hundred years ago, and the story is about the attempt of a new arrival from Paris (none other than Leslie Caron) to succeed his rather unpleasant housekeeper (Barbara Stanwyck) as first favourite in his will. Miss Caron is helped by Joseph Cotten, as the man with a cloak-a mysterious character whose identity is not revealed till the final shot. ¢ tet.
