Storyline:

Shenanigans between rival newspapers when a body is found in a columnist’s flat. Rather studio bound though it opens with some outdoor shots. Celebrated for being not only a “lost” film but also for an appearance by a young Roger Moore though I couldn’t spot him on my ropey copy. SJ.

Additional Information:

Can you help:

If you have any information regarding this production, the locations or, even better, some comparison shots please contact us. Images submitted must be in Landscape orientation, as would be seen on the cinema screen, not Portrait.

We are aware that there are films on the site that were added when the criteria for the inclusion of locations was very different from today and, as a result, there may be scenes missing from some productions. Please do not forward additional screen captures to us but bring the detail to our attention, for we do, and are, 're-addressing' these older entries as time allows.
