Recensione di gee-15

I remember vaguely seeing this when it first aired. As I rewatched it, I really only remembered the brief scene where Father Brown figures out where some evidence of a crime went and finding it clever. The rest of the movie is rather forgettable. They do build some interesting suspense with the lovely Kay Lenz but plotwise it's confusing. Even when you discover who the "villain" is you recognize that some of what that individual does makes no sense. I do see what they were trying to do though and they had the potential to create a rather twisty and interesting mystery but it just doesn't hold together. However, Barnard Hughes makes for a decent Father Brown and there are some amusing bits here and there related to his character. (P. S. That scene at the rectory is creepy but Father Brown seems to live in a rectory the size of the Empire State Building!)
