*Theme- The Americans can do it better.
*Based on- BBC Radio serial "Lady In the Fog'.
*Trivia/location/goofs- English Hammer mystery and cinema noir film. James Bond's "Mrs Moneypenny" Lois Maxwell early film. Some lost seldom seen English film noir of the early 50's. The comedy relief in this film is over played and very hard to watch and accept. It is most theatrical and over-the-top most times.
*Emotion- Enjoyable and even bouncy mystery that keeps a nice pacing with Cesar Romero playing a bumbling but persistent American reporter showing up the famous London's Scotland Yard's Criminal Investigate Department on a murder. Nice to see Mr. Romero's excellent acting 'chops' for mystery and his role being completely natural such that his other American film roles were seldom the same. This is a very nice change and the viewer is rewarded by watching his ease with this role with this simple plot.
