- AnecdotesConquest's car is a 1952 Frazer Nash Targa Florio, one of only 14 made. Red in colour, original registration number DEB 340. The Frazer Nash registry gives the chassis number 421/200/171 for this car.
- GaffesA continuity error - at 35m 30s (depending on your copy), see the taxi, registration number DGH 295 - see the number plate half way up the grille, and at 36m 10s see the design of the vehicle, then see at 36m 13s when the taxi stops - the number plate is below the front bumper and the grille is a different shape. It is a totally different vehicle.

Norman Conquest: It's a long way to the pavement. He was killed instantly?
Supt. Williams: That's a very clever piece of deduction.

Commentaire à la une
sub Falcon tedium
I bought this film because I'm interested in the British b film era of the 1950s and I didn't believe that I'd ever seen it before. The score by Philip Green (not the retail entrepreneur), and in particular a smug and highly irritating theme which recurs throughout the score, made me realise that I had seen it many years before. I wasn't able to recall a solitary frame of it however. Hardly surprising. Most of the clichés of the era are present: a suave, gentleman detective played by Tom Conway (George Sanders' brother, don't you know) in a particularly smug and irritating manner it has to be said (perhaps Philip Green's music wasn't that wide of the mark after all); sinister foreigners, unreal characters seemingly unshocked by violence and murder, toe curling behaviour from all and sundry. Based on the Norman Conquest (not that one) novels which were written by Berkeley Gray, Gray wrote over 800 of the blighters.
Bizarrely, its director, Bernard Knowles, directed Magical Mystery Tour for the Beatles fourteen years later. I am the walrus this ain't.
All in all Park Plaza 605 can be summarised as mediocre and lifeless rubbish from the golden age of the British second feature. Buy it now from Odeon Entertainment!
