The Lone Wolf Strikes - 1940 - 6/10
Older banker, younger female. He loans her a prized pearl necklace.
What she returns is an excellent fake. After he complains – and dies – Michael Lanyard steps in.
Lanyard, AKA the Lone Wolf. Add to the confidence tricksters, a rougher gang biding its time.
Brisk B-film moves rapidly, with enough changes to offset plot holes.
William, as ever, exudes charm and grace, without his sneering, Pre-Code corruption.
