A London curator loses the Mona Lisa to a collector, who discovers it's a fake.
This is quite an engaging little mystery. Sir C. Aubrey Smith ("Collison") is director of the National Art Museum charged with repatriating artworks after the end of WWII. When some colleagues from the Parisian Louvre arrive to collect the "Mona Lisa", all seems fine. Fine, that is, until the slightly dodgy art collector "Hoffmeyer" (Erich von Stroheim - with a full head of hair!) arrives at his home next day with the painting - and points out that it is a fake! A bit of investigation soon realises that it is, indeed, a forgery - but where is the real one? The mystery itself is all a bit lightweight, with us knowing from the outset where the real painting lies, and that Forrester Harvey's opportunistic "Todworthy" is trying to extort a ransom from both men, whilst himself ending up in quite a considerable degree of danger as both the police and the criminals close in. It's all really more of a gentle character effort with neither star having to break into a sweat as the story moves forward in an entirely predictable, but affable fashion. The production is pretty basic, but at just over the hour, I did quite enjoy it.
