Brilliant, in a quirky funny way. Loved it. Quite mad

Gerry Mathers is playing in a field and some shots are fired. Soon he comes upon a body. We are now prepared for suspense and mystery. Turns out pretty formula; everybody and nobody could have done it. At first it seems slow and weird as no one acts normal even for a movie character. They are all slow, nonchalant, and distracted. Harry gets dragged around and buried in controversy. Soon you can really get wrapped up in the story and anticipate the end. The movie never picks up speed; you just have more loose ends to follow. No one cares who bumped Harry off or if they did as long as it does not affect his or her future. The draw to this movie now days and maybe then is the list of actors and the introduction of Shirley MacLaine. Edmund Gwenn looks pretty old here and is remembered also for his performance in “Outward Bound” (1930) 25 years earlier. There is still that Hitchcock feel. So sit back and enjoy it for what it is.Read full review
