Plot


The plot concerns an amateur detective Simon Gale (Price) who races against time to clear the name of his cousin, who is accused of murdering her husband.[3]

Gale assembles all suspects in a single room in a large house and announces that one of them is a murderer. He then explains who is the murderer and how he reached that conclusion.

Critical reception


TV Guide called the film "Overly chatty";[4] Cinema Retro found it "A quaint, cliché ridden drama," concluding more positively, "yes, of course it creaks a little, but if nothing else it’s guaranteed to hold your attention for its succinct 70-minute runtime";[5] and DVD Beaver saluted "A taut, complex whodunit with a brilliantly nerve-racking climax."[6]
