They only made three of these crime capers, but there was certainly something to Gordon Harker and Alastair Sim's "Hornleigh" & "Bingham" characters that keeps these engaging to watch 80 years on. This time, our two detectives are trying to have a well earned break in Brighton when a body is discovered. Our duo are called in to investigate, but when "Bingham" swears that he saw the corpse strolling down the street, the pair have quite a quandary to solve. The plot isn't the most complex - the corpse being found crushed and burned allows easily for a mistaken identity theme to take root; indeed our sleuths are briefly suspects themselves for a while - but the quality dialogue and the pace of this film allow us to enjoy these two lively characters' pursuit of the culprit with some solid supporting efforts to fill it out, too. That said, that padding here is a little excessive - the story could maybe have been fifteen/twenty minutes less, but I still enjoyed it.
