Not only is there social distancing among the cast, but emotionally there's is an element of distancing amongst the characters. The murder victim's son and daughter seem strangely indifferent to their father's death. The daughter seems unconcerned about her brother being arrested for the murder and when her new husband is revealed as a villain. The murderer, himself motivated by a miscarriage of justice, seems happy to see an innocent young man arrested for the crime and the police inspector, concerned for his abducted family, shows no sympathy for the innocent man he has framed.. That amiable and somewhat bewildered young man, in turn, is more worried about where he can get his next alcoholic drink than in his plight. At least the actor playing him adds a touch of humour.
