      Inspector Levins: [musing over interview responses] Doesn't that seem strange to you Sergeant ?

      Sgt. Rutherford: What's that sir ?

      Inspector Levins: That those three women miss being that close

      [clicking his fingers]

      Inspector Levins: being witnesses to a murder, and not mentioned it.

      Sgt. Rutherford: I see, yes.

      Inspector Levins: Not one of them spoke about it. Not to each other, Skinner, or us. Doesn't that seem strange ? Almost as if they had something binding their silence.

    A run of the mill British crime movie
    A typical British B movie from the 1950's. Has two Australian actors playing Americans. Now that is really scraping the bottom of the barrel to try and earn a few extra dollars on the US circuit. I wonder if it worked? Actually this film has a very strong cast with some fine actors. It is just very claustrophobic with it's settings. It plods along but does not really grip you. Worth watching though for those who like to play spot the actor. Some interesting shots of how The Port of London once looked when the Thames was a working river and before the modern developers completely changed the landscape of the area. Lots of trilby hats and long raincoats on show in typical 1950's British black and white movie fashion.
