My rating: 2.5 stars out of 4

A teenager accidentally kills her much older mobster boyfriend one night when he attacks her in a boathouse. Her mom discovers the body the next morning and dumps it in a swamp. One of his mobster friends shows up with the girl's love letters and blackmails mom. James Mason is the reluctant blackmailer who falls in love with her. I found his transformation, and final sacrifice, somewhat unbelievable, especially considering the total lack of affection returned by the desperate mother. Good performances all around, except by the annoying teenage son.
