A suspected jewel robber gets to be the main suspect in a murder, but is he really guilty of both? A former criminal partner and an ex cop are after him, and become tied up with a mysterious woman who has a few secrets of her own. It's all monotonous as the story creates more puzzle pieces than there are spaces available, giving suspicions that the people who claim to be one character are really on the opposite side, making this convoluted and far fetched. It doesn't at all work either as a crime show anthology episode or a big screen feature, and the performances are merely adequate. If Miss Marple had walked in on this case, she'd quit after the first day after saying "You've got to be kidding me."

Shady thieves, shady dames, shady cops. In other words, more of the same.

Man at the Carlton tower
coltras3512 March 2023
A safecracker played by Nigel Green knocks over a jewelry store and kills a policeman during his escape. Scotland Yard is stumped, so superintendent Allan Cuthbertson turns for help to retired Lee Montague who lives at the swank Carlton Tower. Montague is convinced the killer is Green, an old foe he could never nail, and is drawn into the case when he coincidentally runs into Green's former associate at the Carlton.
Not a bad caper-like entry, though it's short on mystery, can be dull and the leading actor lacks charisma and runs funny and annoyingly asks too many questions instead trying to charm it out of the suspects. However, it's sleekly filmed, features the beautiful Maxine Audley and it's an ok time pass, nothing more.
