Blind Corner

Paul Gregory is a blind yet successful pop music composer, married to the beautiful Anne Gregory. He leads a life of professional triumph and personal calm until a secret undercurrent begins to creep in: Anne Gregory is having an affair with Rickie Seldon, a struggling artist who dreams of a bigger break. To keep things discreet while nurturing their liaison, Anne persuades Rickie to paint her portrait, a harmless-seeming pretext that would allow them to steal away for private moments without raising suspicion. The arrangement seems simple enough, but it seeds a web of doubt and manipulation that will pull everyone into a dangerous game of deception.

After a recording session with Ronnie Carroll, Paul is abruptly informed by his business partner, Mike Williams, that Anne and Rickie have been seen out and about in ways that suggest more than friendship. Paul, who has trusted Mike for years, senses that the warning carries weight, even though he knows Mike has long harbored a dislike for Anne. The tension within their marriage intensifies as Paul confronts Anne with the knowledge of the affair, and he makes it clear that he might walk away if she cannot give him a truthful explanation.

Fearful of losing her position and lifestyle, Anne concocts a desperate plan to remove Paul from the scene. She pushes Rickie to arrange an “accident”—a scheme to get Paul drunk and push him from the balcony of their home. Rickie agrees to go along, but his resolve wavers; his heart isn’t in the murder, and the attempt soon spirals into a dangerous confrontation that leaves more questions than answers. In the heat of the struggle, Paul and Rickie end up reassessing everything they thought they knew about Anne, with Paul urging Rickie to see through the deception and recognize the real motive behind the facade.

As the truth begins to surface, Paul reveals a startling theory: the most intense romance is not the one Anne claims to share with Rickie, but the hidden bond between Anne and Mike Williams. Mike has kept his feelings under wraps for a long time by playing a public game of mutual antagonism and professional friction, a ruse that has masked a quieter, more intimate alliance. Rickie, who has no personal vendetta against Paul, finds an unlikely ally in him as they plot to expose the truth.

Together, Paul and Rickie orchestrate a reveal that forces Anne to expose her own motives. The revelation shows that the entire plot was engineered with Rickie as a convenient scapegoat to bear the blame if suspicions about Paul’s death ever grew too loud. The plan unravels under the weight of truth, and the authorities move in to arrest Anne, Mike, and Rickie.

In the final moments, the tension gives way to a sense of renewed possibility. Joan Marshall, Paul’s long-suffering wife, is seen alongside him as they prepare to leave behind the turmoil and embark on a holiday together, stepping into a quieter future free from the danger and duplicity that once loomed over their lives. The film closes on a note of tentative reconciliation and the hopeful prospect of a fresh start, even as the characters carry the scars of the revelations that reshaped their relationships.
