Flat Two is a 1962 British second feature [1] film directed by Alan Cooke and starring John Le Mesurier and Jack Watling. [2] The screenplay is by Lindsay Galloway, based on the 1924 Edgar Wallace story of the same name. It is part of the series of Edgar Wallace Mysteries films produced at Merton Park Studios for Anglo-Amalgamated from 1960 to 1965.
Crooked casino owner Emil Louba is found murdered in his apartment. There are three suspects: architect Frank Leamington, whose fiancée Susan owed Louba money; Charles Berry, who had a grudge against him, and Warden, a barrister. Leamington is arrested, and is defended in court by Warden. As the case progresses Warden is forced to present evidence that establishes himself as the killer.
The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "Unexciting episode in the Edgar Wallace series. The improbable plot depends far too much on verbal explanations and neither the direction nor the characterisation is strong enough to sustain it. But the playing is at least competent." [3]
