ksf-2 Not a lot of info on this one on IMDb, probably because it began as a British TV movie. It's on netflix now. Set during WW II, we follow the "Molly", who works with detectives and forensic scientists as they try to track down a prostitute's murderer. Then another murder. They must try to find the bad guy as the clues and crime scenes are all getting erased by the German bombs. It's actually quite good. Moves along slowly but surely. And of course, opium must be involved, since the original writer had also studied opioids. Some clever blending of scenes... at one point, they talk about knives, and we fade into someone carving a hunk of meat. Another time, we start by looking at a mirror ball in a dance hall, which turns into the bright, full moon. The murder victims all have some things in common, and we don't really have any obvious suspects. We plod along, following the slow progress, but it's pretty entertaining. Also the usual wartime issues, such as fifth column spies, homosexuality, woman's lib.Directed by Geoffrey Sax, who has done a mix of British TV series and films. Looks like he worked exclusively in TV from the 1970s until about 2005, when he made a few films. This seems to be the memoirs of Molly Lefebure, who was a writer... lived from 1919 to 2013. Apparently she wrote about 20 books, among them studies on Coleridge and his family. Quite an interesting write-up on wikipedia. She actually DID work with a pathologist, and worked in a mortuary, no doubt gathering knowledge for her novels.

youngman44 You know that commercial with the young adults trying to flee a murderer and the girl cries out, "There's a car, let's go!" And one of the young man says, "No, let's hide behind those chainsaws!" - mocking the utterly foolish decisions people make in horror movies (or, really, the poor storytelling of the writers)? Well, that's part of the problem with this program. I don't dislike the actors and the plot line has potential (though it's a bit of a mimic of the great Foyle's War - except for a forensic expert). But, there are far too many predictable features. Bad decisions as in the horror story pattern. The typical supervisory stupidity and skepticism and corruption in high places is also present. I had high hopes with this. Great setting (WWII London). Decent acting. Plenty of potential but ultimately it is frustrating. It's just a boiler-plate crime story-line copied thousands of times by one TV show after another. I am normally not at all that critical about such programs. There was some enjoyment in the program. But, seriously is there no originality left?

Ben Larson Patrick Kennedy would not be unfamiliar to most viewers. He can be see in Downton Abbey, Boardwalk Empire. Day of Atonement, War Horse, and Pirates of the Caribbean, to name a few.Her he is a doctor in wartime London trying to school the police in forensic science as he attempts to determine cause and criminal in several murders.There is a bit of Foyle's War here, but the focus is on Doctor Collins, not the police.He is assisted by Molly Cooper (Tamzin Merchant), who I imagine is a stand in for the author Molly Lefebure, upon which the film is derived by her memoirs.Of course, the government is not above protecting a killer to aid the war effort.

connema I was disappointed with this production. It was more like those B films that Hollywood put out in the 40's and 50's. I frankly did not care for the leads since they had no charisma. Also the look of the film was not sharp. Some of the acting was amateurish also especially the owner of the club. He was straight out of a B movie. The club scenes I suppose were meant to interesting but again I kept thinking that look like something Monogram and even Republic studios would have put out. What's will that guy constantly dancing on stage to the music. Sorry I am a big supporter of British programs but this just did live up to stuff. I see it was made by Carnival Films and not the BBC
