Philip Hannon is a playwright, newly relocated from New York to London. Drowning his sorrows in a pub one night, Philip is disturbed to overhear a crime being plotted. The police do not believe his story and so, aided by his faithful butler Bob and ex-fiancé Jean, Philip resolves to stop the villains. But it will not be easy: Philip, you see, is blind…
I just caught this movie on cable and I was drawn into it. This is a very Hitchockian type of thriller. Blind mystery writer overhears kidnapping plot, but of course no one wants to believe him except his 2 good friends, one who wants to marry him. It had a a few chuckles along with suspense. Particulary when playwriters friend/aid is sent on a epic chase through London following a suspect. Playwriter of course nearly gets himself killed trying to figure out the pending kidnapping himself. A few colorful characters a good mystery plot, a lovelorn but smart girlfriend, a bitter playwriter who no one takes seriously and a very clever twist makes a very good movie. I wish for more nice quiet mysteries like this.
