George, Mary, Andy and Grace head off to Paris for a short break, but get caught in a scam, a couple who use the hot seat method to snare victims.
The mystery is there, but it's lost among the visuals, albeit the sublime visuals of Paris. It looks as though it was actually filmed in Paris, impressive considering the time.
Let's be honest, not much happens, but worth remembering that back in 1960, people wouldn't have had much exposure to foreign lands, Paris would have felt wonderfully exotic. So for the time, it's understandable, and probably enjoying. It shows some fine monuments and sites, and if course Notre Dame.
William Mervyn stands out here for me, it seems to be just prior to his Mr Rose series.
Even in Europe, there is no escape from the detective skills of Dixon.
Jack Warner's French is excellent, his pronunciation is excellent.
6/10.
