Movie review - "The Argyle Secrets" (1948) ***

 Based on a radio play and it is very talky, but it was shot over six days or something and there wasn't much Cy Endfield could've done. It's beautifully shot and the actors spit out the dialogue. A lot of Maltese Falcon - man dead, chasing Macguffin, there's a sinister fatty and a woman sho's shonky. William Gargan, Ralph Byrd, Barabar Billingsly... so some star power.
