"Your move Sergeant Elk"

With a face like that Gordon Harker could have been playing the title role; but he was actually playing the detective, who plainly inspired his later character Inspector Hornleigh.

As a film it's only so-so, but most of the laughs were obviously intentional. The biggest problem it gave the Hays Office was probably Carol Goodner in a see-through dress. Despite Graham Greene's sniffy review it obviously made sufficient impression for him to later employ the name 'Harry Lime' himself.
