The Gilded Cage

Alex Nicol is the parachuted in American actor in this thriller which takes a long time to get going.In fact the first real action only comes after 18 minutes when the first murder takes place.After that the over complicated plot really lapses into a trance.Much of the mystery is surrounding the eponymous painting and which one is the fake and the other the real thing.Nicol in this instance is an American serviceman whose brother has become involved with an art smuggling gang.As is usual in these films he runs rings around the Scotland Yard detectives.Given the name of the director rather a disappointing effort.
