MovieMail's Review
The half-forgotten teaming of Jack Lemmon and Kim Novak star in this sprightly mystery comedy with an endearingly synthetic London setting and an impressive Anglo-American cast.
Lemmon, as relentlessly affable as ever, is William Gridley, an American diplomat in London who takes lodgings with the mysterious Carly Hardwicke (Novak). A fellow American, Carly has lived alone since the death of her husband and, needless to say, Gridley falls for her serene and enigmatic charms on sight.
But Carly has a dark past — she may or may not have murdered said husband. Before Gridley knows it, his natty boss (a mature but still light-footed Fred Astaire) and an excitable Scotland Yard detective (the great Lionel Jeffries) have got him trailing her through the London fog in an attempt to prove what he hopes not to be true.
Never taking itself too seriously, this is a tasty confection that exudes a strong Hitchcockian flavour, from the liberally sprinkled red herrings to a finale where the California coastline stands in for Cornwall.
An American junior diplomat in London rents a house from, and falls in love with, a woman suspected of murder in this mystery comedy starring Jack Lemmon and Kim Novak.
