Finally, an episode I could understand without reading the script beforehand. Clear exposition, or at least not very jumbled, and beautifully photographed as well. The scenes allegedly from old films are utterly ironic in their campiness and great fun for anyone with an intact sense of humor. As usual, Jones is the perfect sidekick, and the ever-reliable Barnaby is his usual splendid self. Only one criticism: as too often in this show, Barnaby makes astoundingly accurate deductions with a minimum of information to support his intuition. On the other hand, this is, after all, a television show designed to entertain and not to train future detectives. Highly recommended episode.
