I went over all these reviews, and everything has been thoroughly covered. Except, it's hard to believe that no mentioned that the Scotland Yard detective was played by one half of the Charters and Caldicott duo, From Hitchcocks "The Lady Vanishes", Naunton Wayne. Wayne , along with Basil Radford played Charters and Caldicott in over 10 films and Radio plays after originating the characters in Hitchcocks 1938 film. They continually played the duo till Radford died in the middle of a radio play in 1950, from a heart attack, and Naunton had to finish without Him. The best part of this film is the back and forth jousting between the detective and the failed murderer. It's quite pleasant fun!
