A police constable (Brian Reece) who dreams of being a plainclothes detective but is rather dim gets involved with a femme fatale, who plans to use him as the witness to the killing of a purported attacker. The story winds through several twists and developments, as the constable’s girlfriend (Joy Shelton) takes a hand in the inquiry, proving herself an able investigator. The movie is the second of two based on a popular BBC radio program, and in this instance starring the leads of the radio show, with fairly entertaining results.
Mildly recommended. Otto judiciously thinks this movie is OK, but not great.
Movie 45 for 2021.
