I expected so much more from a film starring Margaret Lockwood and James Mason whose pairing in the classic Gainsborough melodramas later on are some of the best films of the 40's. Lockwood works at a cabaret in Paris in 1937, and needing money after her salary is reduced (due to her performance or lack of it), she takes a large sum of money to provide an alibi for a complete stranger and is later questioned by the police in regards to a murder.
Mason, along with Hugh Sinclair, are the police detectives, and Raymond Lovell is the mysterious alibi. The available print is so poor and the sound so muffled that it was difficult to watch, and even with what I could gather, it wasn't all that high quality to begin with. I might try this again later if a restored print comes out, but it's not one that I could be rushing to see even pristine and even on the big screen.
