Twist of Fate (1954 film)

Twist of Fate is a 1954 British and American mystery film noir directed by David Miller and starring Ginger Rogers and Herbert Lom.

[1] Joan Victor, an actress known as "Johnny" to her friends, is living in Cannes, France, where she and financier Louis Galt plan to marry as soon as he gets a divorce.

Marie is unaware that Louis is the ringleader of a gang that deals in counterfeit gold coins.

When he gives it to Luigi as settlement of his debt, it arouses suspicions from Louis that his lover and Emile must be having an affair, because he'd given it to Johnny as a gift.

Emile slips free of his bonds and runs for a bay where Louis' associates arrive with a boat.

Said Rilla at the time, "According to the script I – a man of 52 – am supposed to have an affair with a girl of 24, who is Miss Rogers.

Ten days into production Rilla left the film and was replaced by Stanley Baker.

TV Guide rated the film 2/4 stars and wrote that Rogers was too old to play the lead character.
