Gentleman thief Lew Daney robs a jewellers, then shoots an Officer whilst escaping. Scotland Yard fail to apprehend him, but they are happy to allow
Retired Rhodesia Policeman Tim Jordan to investigate the case.
After being somewhat disappointed with The Fourth Square, I rather enjoyed this one. A typical 60's whodunnit, full of style, twists and turns. It's a cleverly plotted mystery, one where you have to pay attention, or you'll lose it.
It's very stylish, the sets, fashions and cars, it's glorious, there are so many plus points.
Best of all, the cast, it's full of well known faces, some of the cream of British talent, including Terence Alexander, Alfred Burke (playing yet another villain and Nyree Dawn Porter.
Tim Montague steals it for me, Jordan is an interesting central character. Allan Cuthbertson always played authority figures so well, just ask Basil Fawlty.
This is one of the most enjoyable ones I've seen so far (going in chronological order, that is.)
8/10.
