Bad sound, average film. - No Trace review by CB
I like the work Renown doing restoring old films from the 1930s to the 1950s but this film has the worst sound I have heard, perhaps ever, in a film. You have to listen carefully to understand most of what is said. As for the plot, the main character is a kind of inverse Paul Temple, a crime novelist working with the police at their invitation but with a very different attitude to the insufferable Temple. If you haven't seen this you haven't missed anything.
