Alex Nicol comes to visit his brother, Michael Alexander in Great Britain. After a brief reunion, his brother has to work that evening, so Nicol goes to a night club to meet with some of his brother's friends. He escorts Ursula Howells home, leaves, then realizes he has her handbag. When he returns to her apartment, she's dead. Who did it, and what has a painting called "The Gilded Cage" got to do with it?
It's an all right movie, with Nicol running around anonymous sets and nearly anonymous streets. When it comes to the mystery itself, there's an awful lot of fluff in the film.
Nicol had had a contract at Universal, but it was leading him nowhere, so he packed his bags and headed to Great Britain, where producers might feel that having an American in the leading role would offer entree to American screens. Nicol also started to direct. He died in 2001, age 85.
