An amazing little crime drama that fits so many twists and turns into a film that lasts just over an hour. Norman (Laurence Payne) is in an unhappy marriage with Helen (Patricia Dainton) and is doing the dirty with Helen's half-sister Peggy (Jane Griffiths). When Norman puts Peggy in the club he tries to get a divorce but Helen refuses. Norman thus begins to plot the perfect murder...
Unfortunately, despite an intricate plot intended to build Norman a cast iron alibi, his attempt to gun down his wife ends in failure, instead he discovers that Peggy has been shot instead. Whats more the evidence which the police (John Arnatt) gather points to him doing it...
A modest but very intelligent film which contains a number of little plot points which all make sense in the end. The only criticism might be that all the main characters are rather loathsome.
