Sim is especially notable as the hired assassin &#8212; watch the way his facial expressions reveal his mental machinations as he figures things out on the spot. [As noted in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.timeout.com\/film\/70561.html\">Time Out&#8217;s review<\/a>, one can&#8217;t help comparing Sim&#8217;s appearance here with that of Alec Guinness in <a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/?p=2075\"><em>The Ladykillers<\/em><\/a>, a brilliant black comedy released the previous year; indeed, <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Alastair_Sim\">Guinness was apparently directly inspired<\/a> by Sim&#8217;s performance as Mr. Squales in the (non-Peary-listed) <em>London Belongs to Me<\/em> (1948).]  George Cole is suitably manic as the vacuum cleaner salesman who is determined to solve whatever &#8220;mess&#8221; is put in front of him &#8212; whether it&#8217;s soot on a carpet or a body stuffed into a piano; and beautiful Jill Adams (who reminds me of Shirley Henderson) makes an appealing female protagonist.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Redeeming Qualities and Moments:
