Reseña destacada
This one hasn't got a lot going for it really. Despite crediting at least three writers it's pretty dull stuff with an overly-complicated plot. Tom Conway imitates his more successful brother once more. After accidentally killing a message-carrying pigeon with a golf shot (I kid you not) our suave hero ('amusingly' named Norman Conquest) decides to attend the hush-hush rendezvous mentioned in the message that is scheduled to take place at the titular hotel room. There he meets the rather fetching Eva Bartok in a bad blonde wig who quickly shoots him in the face with a spray of knockout powder when she realises he isn't the man he's supposed to be.
It gets even sillier after that, with police detective Sid James making a lot of noise for no real reason other than to pad out the already slim running time. Clues and women fall into the suave Conquest's lap, and the film is quite, erm, saucy, for its time with women bound and gagged or threatening to remove their clothes after being soundly spanked (believe me, though, it's not as interesting as it sounds).
There's quite a few familiar British faces worth looking out for (including bespectacled Richard Wattis as a bad guy), but I was struggling to stay awake less than half-an-hour into this and, by the time it finished, I was left wishing I hadn't bothered..

- CuriosidadesConquest's car is a 1952 Frazer Nash Targa Florio, one of only 14 made. Red in colour, original registration number DEB 340. The Frazer Nash registry gives the chassis number 421/200/171 for this car.
- PifiasA continuity error - at 35m 30s (depending on your copy), see the taxi, registration number DGH 295 - see the number plate half way up the grille, and at 36m 10s see the design of the vehicle, then see at 36m 13s when the taxi stops - the number plate is below the front bumper and the grille is a different shape. It is a totally different vehicle.
- Citas
Norman Conquest: It's a long way to the pavement. He was killed instantly?
Supt. Williams: That's a very clever piece of deduction.
