Paul and Steve Temple solve the mystery of 'Rex' who is a blackmailer and a murderer. This second Temple film improves on the first one ('Send For Paul Temple' in 1946) by the casting of John Bentley as Paul and Dinah Sheridan as Steve. They have a believable relationship with sparky dialogue. The identity of 'Rex' comes out of nowhere really. That is explained better in the longer original radio series. Having two musical numbers in the first fifteen minutes doesn't help the clarity of the narrative either.
It does have decent actors like Abraham Sofaer, Hugh Pryse, Alan Wheatley and Margaretta Scott to keep one's interest and pleasant pictures of beautiful Canterbury. Not a classic but easy to watch if you like this kind of thing.
