hostage in cellar with dog

[roddy]

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.)







Oopps too late!

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
