smart alec (1951)

"Any message for Sylvia"
Alex (Peter Reynolds) is a bounder who develops a plot to literally get away with murder, and everyone is stumped as to how he has done it. Especially after he is brazen enough to reveal his masterly plan after he is cleared of the murder.
Intreging crime drama quickly disolves into a slap-stick comedy once the crime comes to be investigated as the likes of Charles Hawtrey get involved. A truely oddball how-done-it.
