The Man Who Was Nobody

Slick fraudster James Tynewood (William Abney) making-off with an expensive jewel. A sly and secretive lawyer is keen to contact Tynewood so hires the beautiful and glamorous private detective Marjorie Stedman (Hazel Court) to track him down and to pass on the message that "South Africa Smith" (John Crawford) is back in town.

This is a thriller that gets progressively dull and complicated, but there's some fresh ideas such as having a female private eye. Hazel Court sizzles as the private investigator. Hazel is at her most glamorous here. Court a great part that allows her to be sleek, sexy, smart, and sly in various guises, including a beatnik.
