None of the three Inspector Hornleigh films have worn well at all; with their penny-pinching production values and unimaginative camera setups, they look at least a decade older than their actual age. This final entry might be a little more tolerable than the others; it has one or two amusing scenes, like when Inspector Hornleigh is impersonating a professor or when Sergeant Bingham is impersonating a dentist's assistant. Nonetheless, despite the involvement of one of the 1938 "Lady Vanishes" co-screenwriters, and even some train action at the very end, this film is in no way comparable to the Hitchcock classic. ** out of 4.
