"The truth is what I tell you"
5 October 2018
Warning: Spoilers
A private detective Mike O'Kelly stumbles into a mystery in a foggy London night on his way to meet a fellow investigator who is also a friend. He finds his friend has been killed. A dropped passport leads him to answers about his friend's death which involve a secret neo-Nazi ring and the activities of the International League For World Peace. The film starts well but rambles routinely to a not unexpected climax. There are a couple of twists in the plot that are quite foreseeable.

Imported American actor Rod Cameron as O'Kelly lumbers about in a dull manner. Good support does come from Lois Maxwell, Clifford Evans and the ubiquitous Marianne Stone but they don't have enough to do to raise the film up from being routine. Douglas Wilmer as the smooth and deadly Dr. Randolph has the best part. The cinematography by co-producer Monty Berman is fine with some efficient location shooting but on the whole the film is a chore to sit through. Berman and the other co-producer Robert S. Baker made other films together that are much better.
