This short received its first showing today at the Renown film festival.Apparently the producers Grand National were going out of business when the film was ready so it never got shown.It is briskly paced as you would expect from a film directed by Monty Tully.The film is topped and tailed by Jeremy Hawke much in the manner of Edgar Lustgarten.The story is well crafted though one is let in on the con quite early on.A visiting American art collector advertises for the painting of the title it is answered by some elderly sisters.The painting is taken to the collector.However a young woman intervenes with a painting she claims as original.The paintings are put in a safe and they go off to lunch.An associate opened the safe and switches paintings.However the crooks have declined without the reputable Feeds Jackson and the tables are turned on them.
