CinemaSerf
This is quite a sophisticated little murder mystery that sees Jack Warner and Ronald Lewis team up to investigate the murder of a woman. As the title suggests, they start with a mess of clues and suspects and have to sift through the seedier side of England's south coast with it's curious collection of characters - including an on-form Michael Goodliffe ("Burchard") and Yolanda Donlan ("Jean"). The writing and direction are taut and well paced with the two leads keeping it interesting - if, perhaps, just a bit too detailed - as they hone in on their culprit. As afternoon features go - this is a better example with a solid adaptation of Hilary Waugh's original novel.
