Mysterious Mr. Nicholson

This is a terribly wooden affair that sees the police avail themselves of the services of a former petty burglar to track down the murderers of a millionaire. Anthony Hulme takes on a double role as both the goodie and the baddie - but comes nowhere near pulling it off convincingly from the audience perspective. The script is bland, and the photographer seems to have been content to leave much of the actor's heads out of shot! We stop near the end for an audition for 1940s "Britain's Got Talent" but aside from that it all rather demonstrates the weariness of the post-war UK in 1947.
