All For a Hat

Celia is Hy Hazell. an out-of-work actress. She is inveigled by Bruce Lester, a private investigator, into an undercover job. It seems that Elsie Wagstaff has married John Bailey and has cut off communications with her niece and nephews, who are worried that Bailey intends nefarious doings. As the movie goes on, the audience discovers that this is indeed the case; in cooperation with Lockwood West, Bailey intends to drug the old woman and throw her off the balcony, having told the gossips in the village that his wife walks in her sleep. Can Miss Hazell and Mr. Lester save the old woman?

This is a perfectly decent thriller bookended by some light-hearted banter If not exactly a world-beater, it is a perfectly pleasant time-waster for anyone who likes a bit of chills in a country home.
