Walk a Crooked Path is a 1969 British crime film directed by John Brason and starring Tenniel Evans, Faith Brook and Patricia Haines.[1] [2] The film is set at a boarding school where a man plans to murder his wealthy teacher wife. It is sometimes known as Twilight Man.
The film's sets were designed by the art director Wilfred Arnold.
The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "Walk a Crooked Path is the end product of a daunting series of production problems which began in 1966. Twice commenced and twice abandoned, it was eventually taken over by the present company who decided to scrap everything that had already been filmed, salvaging from the second attempt the composer and three of the cast. Finished and released at last, the story turns out to be rather reminiscent of The Children's Hour (a pupil's accusation, unwittingly accurate, that his teacher is homosexual), but the film is an efficient little piece, ably directed and performed and very attractively scored, although marred by some distracting lumps of padding and a dire lack of light relief in the otherwise capable writing."[3]
