Reviews
A Scotland Yard inspector and his journalist pal head to a remote inn for a fishing holiday, only to discover (or not!) that a murder has been committed in this sleepy community and they have to investigate - without actually having the corpse! It's only 45 minutes long, moves quickly with some humour and doesn't hang about. The ending is predictable enough, but the performances by Anthony Hulme and Ernest Sefton - as the local sergeant - are good fun to watch. It does look a little like it's been filmed by candle-light and the editing is a bit ropey, but after 70 years it holds up quite well.
