The third and final film in the "Joel & Garda Sloane" series is also the most comedy-orientated one. The mystery itself is not introduced until the middle of the picture, and although it's not a bad one, it's also not that hard to figure out sometime before it is "officially" solved, if you think back to the formula of all three movies: the Sloanes get involved because the most obvious suspect, who gets arrested, happens to be their close friend, but the killer is always the person who is never even considered under suspicion. Luckily, the comedy is served well by the cast, particularly by Ann Sothern, who is both witty and sexy ("Don't you want to examine me? I have some very nice symptoms!"). Of the 3 Gardas, she is the most comedically gifted one. I give this film **1/2 out of 4 stars like I did with the two others in this brief series; none of them are great shakes, but all of them are pleasant and often funny.
