An entertaining and humorous yarn about a respectable man who through no fault of his own is drawn into a series of adventures to clear his name with a climatic conclusion on a ledge.
A bit like North by Northwest...isn't it, though maybe I am reading too much into the story.
Good acting all around with super stars of this era doing their best to entertain.
A clever script and smart direction.
No matter how much trouble they are in all the performers are immaculately attired, especial the lead players.
Pity about the tobacco intake but hey this was a different time period.
Anyone looking for an escapist film noir from the past need look no further:
7/10.
