Dilemma (also known as The Man with Two Faces) is a 1962 British crime thriller directed by Peter Maxwell, and starring Peter Halliday and Ingrid Hafner.[1] [2]
Harry Barnes returns home from work on the eve of his second wedding anniversary to be told by his next-door neighbour Mrs Jones that a scream came from his house minutes earlier, and she saw his wife running from the house. Inside he finds a strange man dying in the bathroom.
Chibnall and McFarlane in The British 'B' Film wrote that Dilemma was: "a disaster that finally closed ACT films and tarnished its reputation for producing servicable works of modest quality," adding that "Dilemma never achieved theatrical production in Britain but was sold to television".[3]
