What did they want that musical box for?
15 December 2012
Granted this is a B picture from RKO so there will be less care taken, but I could hardly wrap my mind around the concept that British people in 1941 were going on holiday to Switzerland. The continent was a bit hostile at the time.

Hugh Sinclair becomes Simon Templar the Saint in this entry in the series which was made in Great Britain by an RKO subsidized division. This film was a slapdash affair, it looks like the writers took their inspiration from Alfred Hitchcock's The Lady Vanishes and The 39 Steps with a bit of Sherlock Holmes thrown in.

Two women are involved in the plot, eager beaver reporter Sally Gray a British Lois Lane and government agent Leueen McGrath. The villain is mysterious count Cecil Parker and everybody wants a musical box that is some kind of code.

I watched all 61 minutes of this and I swear I still don't know what it was all about.
