This B movie looks much better than most because it was made by Warner Brothers and had a higher budget and better production values than many other Bs. Now this does NOT mean it's a particularly great B...it wasn't. The problem is that despite looking very polished, the script isn't especially strong and too many of the characters (particularly the women) were shrill and tended to become overwrought at the drop of a hat.
The film is set in a rooming house in London. Almost everyone there seems to have some big secret or secrets and it all seems a bit unreal because of this. One morning, most of the folks are not in their rooms and a body is found. What follows is an overacted but mostly by the books whodunnit...that is, until the very strange and difficult to predict ending.
Overall, this is a passable B movie but nothing more. I didn't particularly love the twist at the end and a few of the characters were downright annoying.
