Last of the brief Paul Temple film series has England rocked by the Marquis murders. A fiend is bumping people off and signing the name to his handiwork. Temple meanwhile is on holiday in New York where he is warned by the Marquis not to get involved at the same time he is asked to gather information on one of the victims, a New York City police officer. Upon returning to New York Temple and his wife Steve find themselves in the thick of it.
Good murder mystery that doesn't seem like the first two Temple films (Calling... and Send for...) in that the film seems to have more locations and move at a faster clip. The film also seems to have been been influenced by the Film Noir movement which was beginning to reach its zenith about the time the film was made. Its probably as needlessly convoluted as the earlier entries but the cast of British character actors such as Christopher Lee and Valentine Dyall manage to make you not care. One of the better films in the series. Definitely worth a look.
