nick s Presumably an adaption of a play, the whole thing is stuck in one location. The acting was fine. The story was well setup but nothing clever. And the twist ending was a copout that sucked out the small amount of gravity the movie had. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 04/05/24 Full Review william k Mediocre crime mystery drama; mildly enjoyable for fans of the genre. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review don k This movie makes credible the assumption that the British Film Industry gave rise to stereotypes. All characters in this movie are based on one or the other of them, and each is amply presented. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member If Oscar Wilde wrote a mystery, this would be it. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member zippy B movie thrilla Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member There's something queer going on here--Lighthearted whodunit with tight script, good performances!!
