SCOTLAND YARD INVESTIGATOR is a murky little crime thriller lifted by the performances of its two old-time stars, who add immeasurably to the film's entertainment value. C. Aubrey Smith plays one of the genre's oldest heroes, a man tasked with looking after the priceless Mona Lisa painting, only for dastardly Erich von Stroheim to try to steal it. Peripheral characters pop up and murky the waters somewhat, and the whole thing has a lighthearted and fun feel to it, just what the doctor ordered as audiences were busy witnessing the end of WW2.
