The Delavine Affair (1955)

A fairly mundane crime caper affair. Rex Banner (Peter Reynolds) owns a small press agency. He becomes an amateur sleuth when one of his friends is killed after the theft of the Delavine diamonds. Its just as well he is on the case as the police are fairly clueless throughout and think Rex is the culprit! Meanwhile his partner Maxine (Honor Blackman) has become involved with Florian (Gordon Jackson)...

The story plods along without a great deal of tempo or energy, however the story is fairly straightforward and the film is a decent watch. It uses it's low budget to the fullest. Its competent but not a lot more.
