A London reporter Mark Kingston comes to Cambridge to find out about the death of his brother. Was it murder or suicide? This is an entertaining mystery movie that moves along swiftly and leads to a satisfactory conclusion with lots of watchable characters. There are a couple of plot holes but that doesn't reduce the enjoyment of the film. Terence Longdon as Kingston is a solid lead well supported by Donald Gray as the initially sceptic Inspector Wills, Robertson Hare as the jolly Ronald Fortescue and the always cute Diane Clare as the sympathetic Mary Johnson. There is much location shooting on the streets of Cambridge, that pretty university town, which enhances the movie. Continuity for the film was done by the splendidly named Splinters Deason. I enjoyed it.
