Entertaining crime-mystery features some fine performances, most notably George Hilton whom I only recognized from a couple westerns I recently watched. The ending wasn't bad though the killer was a bit of a dumb ass with easy ability to escape and disappear but still on the whole this was satisfactory. **3.75/5**
