Never Mention Murder is an economical B movie from the pen of Edgar Wallace.
Philip Teasdale (Dudley Foster) is a distinguished husband who has hired a private eye Felix Carstairs to spy on his wife.
Carstairs reports back that his wife has indeed a young lover. Tony who has a cabaret act with his wife at a club.
Teasdale plans to murder Tony by giving him some tablets to induce a heart attack and then kill him off at the operating table.
However an audience of young nurses turn up at the operating theatre to watch. Later Carstairs returns hoping to make money out of Tony's unhappy wife by insinuating that her husband is having an affair.
When Carstairs learns that Tony is in hospital and being treated by Teasdale. He spots an opportunity to make more money.
It looks like this thriller was filmed in Jersey. Foster is rather creepy as Teasdale. Although the surgeon is plagued by bad luck and also not as clever as he thinks he is.
You can sense this when Teasdale underestimates how cunning Carstairs could be.
