by Alex Atkinson ‧ RELEASE DATE: Feb. 13, 1955
An English repertory sets the stage for the poisoning of leading man Charles Manion at the end of a performance and Chief Inspector Furniss has to take many a cue from the cast and the staff before he closes his case. Tricky timing and stage business, the assorted relations of the company, and a bit of old scandal help the adding up for a final curtain. Theatrical detail keeps this show busy rather than showy.
