Well there are three things that irritated me about this film.First was the garish technicolour.Presumably they wanted to sell it to tv.Secondly Pete Murray with his cowboy hathe and dreadful mid Atlantic accent.Thirdly Peter Butterworth constantly chewing gum.A detective he most certainly is not.The film seems to start out as a light comedy and the becomes a murder mystery.However it really fails to generate any tension or excitement..One can also say that technicolour really did not lend itself to this sort of film.It detracts from the atmosphere.

The crime genre features criminal activities, investigations, law enforcement, crimes, and the pursuit of justice. Crime stories often revolve around the planning, execution, and consequences of criminal acts, as well as the efforts to solve and prevent such acts. They explore various aspects of criminal behavior, motives, and the moral dilemmas faced by both perpetrators and those seeking to uphold the law.
