Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaWhen Linda leaves Charlie Pott in the pub, she gives her phone number as "Whitehall 1212" and says "if a man answers, hang up." Charlie starts to repeat the number and write it down before looking up with dismay. Contemporary viewers would have readily got the joke: Whitehall 1212 was, famously, the number for Scotland Yard.
- GoofsJust over 30 minutes in, the police visit Harrison' place in broad daylight. She throws the key down from the window, again in broad daylight. When the policeman comes up, he says "Sorry to bother you at this time" and, out of her window, it's dark, with a light on in the window opposite.

Steve Harrison: The sooner we get hold of this, the sooner we get some folding money.
Rita Hanken: I've forgotten what it looks like.
Steve Harrison: The most beautiful sight in the world Rita.

Pinpointing the problems of circumstantial evidence
Once again the fallacy of circumstantial evidence is proved beyond a reasonable doubt. The action is swift and elegant, the conversation is brilliant and pertinent all the weary, the acting is moderately excellent, while Rona Anderson makes the day. There are two separate murder cases being treated here, one serving just as an introduction and presenting the issue of the debatability of circumstantial evidence by one woman of the jury fainting during the court proceedings who has to be carried out, delaying the process for several days. The other case is a particularly odious man who tries to blackmail his wife and others hy playing dirty, refusing his wife a divorce since two years and stealing her money and her gun for self defence, which he latter is killed by, no one knows how, but the wife's lover, a doctor, is blamed for it and faces trial for murder on the grounds of circumstantial evidence. He happens to be the son of the judge, who finds no other alternative than to resign from his job. It's an interesting intrigue, and the cashier at the hotel of the murder plays an important part, knowing nothing and understanding nothing but acting promptly when the time comes. It is a small thriller but even the smallest jewels can be of great value.
