I absolutely loved the beginning and the end of this film. The narration was a little too much for me, but very appropriate for the time. The opening narration that sets the stage, however, immediately grabbed my attention and reminded me why I love whodunnits. This film is also so British in the way people react to things. Inspector Cockrill was such a weird character here. It was like if Inspector Clouseau was super smart. I also saw a little bit of Daniel Craig’s Benoit Blanc from KNIVES OUT, which makes me wonder if Rian Johnson has seen this one. Trevor Howard (better known for BRIEF ENCOUNTER) was the standout to me here as the anesthesiologist. My only other criticism of the film is that all the characters blended together. It was hard to tell everyone a part.
