"I'm willing to take a gamble"
28 July 2018
Warning: Spoilers
Two elderly sisters are involved in a scam involving the sale of their painting called 'Boy With a Flute' which has been in their possession for years. It is only a short film but it is neat and entertaining with solid acting from the familiar British cast, particularly Freda Jackson. It is set mainly in three rooms but it is paced well and never boring.

The opening credits call it 'A Personal Column Story' and using a personal column advertisement the presenter tells the story in the manner of Edgar Lustgarten narrating a 'Scotland Yard' film. Perhaps more were meant to be filmed in a series, which would have been interesting, but unfortunately the film company Grand National who made it went out of business.
