The disappearance of a dead body at a costume ball and the reappearance of the same corpse later in a train wreck set private detective John Harwood (Edmund Lowe) and insurance investigator Caryl Fenton (Constance Cummings) on the trail of conspiracy and international crime, as they look for the sinister villain who has caused not just one train wreck but at least one more already. Harwood even makes a bet with a French police inspector as to who will find the “wrecker” first, but will Harwood and Fenton regret it when the murderer strikes again? Enjoyable if standard fare, with a good twist at the resolution.

  Mildly recommended. Otto judiciously thinks this movie is OK, but not great.

Movie 110 for 2021.
