I'd spoiler the plot, but I never understood what was going on. Everybody is cheating everybody. Everybody's wicked plans are a front for some different wicked plans.
Nigel Davenport in a moustache is a smooth, softly spoken villain. He's so softly spoken that I can't hear half he says. Besides, he intimidates people by never moving his face. It turns out both femme fatales are in love with him. His sidekick is effectively played.
I liked the shots of the jazz club, and the fact that the anti-hero, Mike Cochrane, drinks nothing stronger than milk.
Somewhere in there is a plot to discredit a barrister by means of a photoshopped image that never gets used. And then they're going to burn down a boathouse. It all makes perfect sense.
William Russell is effective as the amoral fixer who never moves his face. He stares people in the eye without blinking, too. But he's rather boyish and likeable and doesn't get either of the girls.
There's some hoopdedoo about writing letters to yourself and getting them sent back from Zurich, and puzzlement about who worked the Zurich end.
