Brighton. What starts as a simple break in, leads the coppers to a murdered woman. Found in a suitcase. In an empty house. So we tag along as they follow the clues. It's pretty dry, like an episode of dragnet. We just follow along, one by one. According to the trivia section, it's based on a crime from the 1920s. Or 1930s. Although the actual credits say its based on the book from 1959. One witness, who almost became another victim, is played by yolande donlan.who does a great job of overacting. And happened to be married to the director. It's entertaining. The details were probably pretty shocking at the time, before we were so used to seeing violence around us. Directed by val guest, who won a bafta for writing "the day the earth caught fire".
