Penny Gold is a priceless stamp. Francesca Annis plays dual roles as twins with contrasting personalities. One of them is found murdered with half the her face bludgeoned. Their stepfather is a dealer in rare stamps who also turns up dead later on.
James Booth plays the detective who has a soft spot for the surviving twin. Nicky Henson plays his loyal sidekick. The film is directed by Jack Cardiff better known as a legendary Oscar winning cinematographer.
The film rather reminded me of those Edgar Allan Wallace mysteries but in colour and set in the 1970s with a lot of filming in and around Windsor with Windsor castle as a backdrop.
This potboiler never gets more than lukewarm. The fun is seeing Windsor of yesterday and some familiar actors in early roles. As a mystery it fails badly. I quickly started to put the puzzles together and what about that mysterious American blonde in a bad wig who kept popping up here and there.
