Michael Redgrave "Peter" works by day on a building site, his wife "Pat" (Patricia Roc) works by night as a switchboard operator - they are saving up so they can, hopefully, stop living like ships that pass in the night. On his way to work one day, he is certain that he spies a brutal murder from th ... e window of his train. Enlisting the help of the police, he arrives at the apartment of Paul Lukas, the almost maniacally possessive "Zoltini" and his young wife "Vivian" (Sally Gray), a magical duo who insist they were just rehearsing for their latest stage act. So no crime committed... yet!? It's got some interesting photography of pre-war London and some fun scenarios from the now long-gone music halls to compliment the quite humorous banter between the characters - especially the girls on the switchboard. The plot is a bit quirkier than you might expect, and the dashing Redgrave works well with the story. Therein lies the problem, though - the plot is weak, and Lukas overcooks his performance quite badly - both elements detract from an otherwise quite engaging 80 minutes with quite a suitable, if not entirely unexpected, denouement, too.
