A columnist falls dead in a nightclub.It turns out that he was poisoned and there are plenty of suspects lined up who would gladly have done the job.Chief amongst these are his widow and his former girlfriend,Hazel Court,who is now married to parachuted in American actor Vic Morrow.Morrow plays the usual newspaper reporter who is trying to protect his wife by destroying evidence and making himself an absolute nuisance to the police.The denouement is in traditional fashion,set in the club where the crime was committed.It is run by Lionel Jeffries with a truly awful mid Atlantic accent.As usual in these cases the method of poisoning is one you couldn't have guessed but the motive seemed a bit thin.In the end this is a very routine thriller.
