Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Stagy detective picture in which an artist (Jones) devises a switched-identity scam to get hold of an inheritance, by having his girlfriend (Blackman) call at a rose-covered cottage and blast his wife in the face with a shotgun (off screen, naturally). The sort of British B-picture in which artists wear cravats and oil paintings of nude women appear to have no nipples. Not a very taxing mystery, though Scotland Yard (Holt) is slow on the uptake.Author: JPy
