No time for retakes - we even hear a prompt at one point, and actors fluff their words. Actually, it gives the whole thing a naturalistic feel which is rather attractive. A pickpocket team lift several wallets, and find a blackmail note in one.
Monty the pickpocket sets out to find out who the blackmailer is but doesn't get far before he turns up dead. The police are more successful, mingling with actresses and producers before they unmask the villain. What's Nigel's terrible secret? Only that he had an affair with an older woman. Poor Nigel is left in the foreground of the shot with nothing to do when he's just been told his mother has been murdered, but he carries it off pretty well.
Love the swinging party. What was the point of couple dancing with no discernible steps? It was some weird kind of mating ritual. So glad we've moved on, or have we?
