    Can anyone help with identifying a film about which I can recall hardly anything?



    I seem to recall it was a fifties film, possibly a supporting feature. I just cant remember why the guy was being held but he was portrayed as an upper class chap ( I think). I am sure the dog was with him in the cellar (or hideout).



    Thanks a lot.

    It's going to be Obsession (1949)



    A splendid turn from Robert Newton.

    That's the one Nick, the mention of Robert Newton clinches it.



    Many thanks

    Could it be OBSESSION (1949)...? (Do a "search" for a plot synopsis elsewhere on this site.)

    Many thanks anyway Houdi, it was a close run thing and you had stiff competition.

    This must be the most asked-about film on this thread (and I will second Nick's recommendation)! Top tip - thanks to the cruel experiments of a member who shall remain nameless, we know that it's not possible to train your cute doggie to pull the plug out of a bath filled with acid, so don't try it at home
