Ordinarily, such complications merely confuse a movie. In this intelligent production they enrich the picture's general interest and sharpen the melodramatic suspense. Meredith's performance, his best in a long time, could carry the picture singlehanded ; Dulcie Gray is highly satisfactory as his clumsy, devoted wife; and the handsome but somewhat wooden Kieron Moore is effectively used.

The nose, they said, is not, as commonly believed, a laboratory which identifies odors by chemical analysis. More likely, its smeller is an instrument or measuring infra-red (heat) rays absorbed by odorous vapors...
