CinemaSerf5 Feb 13, 2023"Crosbie" (Pat O'Brien) is a jaded old journalist who is involved in a car accident that robs him of his wife and seriously injures his son. Now facing a bill of £1,000 to send him to Switzerland for urgent treatment, he becomes desperate and turns to the dubious "Webber" (George Coulouris) and offers to take the rap for the recent death of his old boss if he will fund the surgery. What "Crosbie" hadn't figured on, though, was the police actually wanting to get to the bottom of the crime and "Insp. Lane" (Wensley Pithey) isn't convinced he has his man! The only solution for "Crosbie" now might be to team up with fellow reporter "Jill" (Lois Maxwell) and see if they can solve the crime themselves. It took me a while to recognise a very young Richard Pascoe as the doctor and Tommy Steele also features briefly, but otherwise this is all a rather formulaic drama that is probably fifteen minutes longer than it needs to be. It's reasonably paced and passes the time, but you won't recall it afterwards.
