WHO at work fighting the spread of bugs
21 June 2022
"A Matter of WHO" is an interesting mystery drama with a slight touch of comedy. I hadn't been aware of this film that was an MGM British production. It's quite unusual in that it's about the World Health Organization (WHO) and its policing efforts to protect against the spread of infectious diseases. WHO is a United Nationals agency that is headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland

Terry-Thomas is an ace investigator and dogged pursuer in protecting the world from the spread of deadly diseases. In this film, he dashes around Europe in pursuit of the carrier sources of a case of small pox that arrived in England. The story has more intrigue because the case was the partner of an American oil exploration business. It had been exploring in the Middle East for a British oil firm, and the partner arrives in English ill from a flight n Nice, France> With him is his new bridge.

Jamieson's partner, Kennedy, had flown to England to meet him. He winds up helping and working with Terry-Thomas's Archibald Bannister to fin the source, and solve a crime associated with it.

The cast are mostly good, and the humor is very light. The best of it is Thomas dashing about London in his sporty convertible and waring his Sherlock Holmes hate. Thomas is very good in his role, and this is an informative and interesting film that will clue people in on WHO.
