There is just so much movie here. For some it may be too much. But in the same secretly sarcastic way most telemarketers say the phrase, the title of this one is particularly apt.

The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

I love this series for its cool early 60s interiors. In this one, a suspect is a painter, and I'd really like to buy something from his "impressionist period". His friend and agent Hennessy has another up in his office. Otherwise, there are room dividers, rubber plants and wallpaper with silhouettes of chyrsanthemums - or was that in another in the series? Anyway, rich old money lender Finlay Currie doesn't want his niece to marry the handsome, penniless painter. Everybody is peeved with everybody else all the time, and the dialogue is quite Pinteresque, especially as it's impossible to work out what's going on. Patrick Cargill is excellent as the butler, and Bernard Lee as the man from Scotland Yard. Here he has a sergeant Anson and a dim PC called Quigley. What happened to Sgt Pepper?

This short film is one of the the Edgar Wallace collection, this particular one is in volume two.I thought it was a very enjoyable mystery and a fine way to spend an hour, I have watched a few of these films and this is about the best I have seen so far.The plot revolves around a few murders, the first one who meets his maker is a conman played by Sam Kydd, the next one is a very mean old man played by Finlay Currie.There are good parts played by well known actor's such as Bernard Lee, of Bond fame and Patrick Cargill.The assailant is not revealed till the very end and it keeps the viewer guessing until then ( at least it had me guessing!) Recommended.

The perfect type of mystery film. No action, good atmosphere, a jazzy score, fairly good actors. Typically British, but action emptiness thriller. I don't like this kind of picture very much. We can assist here the investigation around the murder of a wealthy old man. Nothing more. Of course, everything is explained in the end. Flat, boring for me. But I don't say it's a corny flick. I am sure that it could please many viewers. A mystery crime film as there were millions in the US and UK movie industry. A grade B picture, as you can guess, right in the line of Edgard Wallace stories. Nevertheless, I saw better in that series of little features from the other side of the Channel.
