Review

A star rating of 3 out of 5.

David Parkinson

The spy thriller meets the bedroom farce in this sprightly British suspense comedy. Tom Walls plays an investigator called away from his honeymoon with Renée Saint-Cyr to discover which of the guests at Irene Handl's boarding house has stolen some top-secret blueprints. As he mingles with a tiptoeing maid, a Boer War colonel, an Argentinian meat merchant, a travelling salesman, a dotty old dear and a sinister blind man, Saint-Cyr also books into the establishment, suspecting him of adultery. Walls was never the most understated of screen performers, but he keeps this enjoyable mystery bright and breezy.
