Lightweight detective story
BOY!!! yells the newspaper editor. The meekly subservient copy-boy dashes past the blonde fashion reporter at her typewriter (male reporters don't seem to have typewriters) while the diplomatic correspondent serves tea at his desk from a china teapot. Ah what bliss to make movies in the 1950s, when every cliché was still fresh and nobody questioned the established social order. This flimsily plotted movie is a perfect example of its type, in which foreign crooks are pursued by London newspaper reporters and police to a highly predictable ending. It is undemanding and formulaic but quite enjoyable as a late night time-filler.
Fluffy British screwball comedy.
Fast moving direction makes this one-hour British crime caper just about watchable. The audio has been dubbed on in the studio and it's noticeable, so that's annoying. That aside, the characters are zany and engaging... the plot is outrageously campy and the whole thing feels like a helter-skelter ride... bumpy, uneven and you feel a bit dizzy when it's over! The plot is confusing, but there's a murder, some communists, some drugs and a suspicious briefcase! Not a patch on the 'newsroom screwball comedies' from America but still - it's not an hour wasted for us British oldies.
