How much you enjoy this will depend on how you like spending time in the company of Derrick de Marney. He played the lead in Young and Innocent and had a long career - he's got looks and can act, I found him extremely irritating. He mumbled his lines, and seemed contemptuous and never believable as a private eye. I may be doing the man a disservice. I just didn't like him.
There's a lot of talk - it was based on a play which was based on a novel and you can tell. It's very verbose, a lot of exposition about things we don't see. The quality of acting is fine.
Belinda Lee has one scene as a young girl cross examined. A young Adrienne Cori pops up in a nightclub. There's some humour but it isn't very good.
