Insurance Investigator

Weak script, mediocre direction. Don't be fooled, this isn't Noir, more like the dull Gray of a tired businessman's pantleg. There's no flashback, no tight editing, no macabre shadows or complex framing, no passion. The sexual tension remains at the level of a polite yawn.

Hillary Brooke's feeblest effort, perhaps, and she's a bright spot that gets killed off halfway in. Richard Denning is too flimsy to drive the investigative suspense, downright lacksadaisical. Others are merely dull as ditchwater but I don't blame the actors.

This is cops'n'robbers light, verging on the middlebrow TV to come - with a few vintage car chases to alleviate the ennui.
