Friday, September 1 - Colonel March of Scotland Yard: Present Tense & At Night All Cats Are Gray


Emily is Colonel March's niece who has witnessed the death of her husband in a plane crash while it was preparing to land.

Emily was estranged from her husband. She had planned to tell him that she had found someone else and wanted a divorce.

Somehow Emily talks about her husband in the present tense. Implying that somehow he is not dead. Even the housekeeper makes reference to a ghost haunting the house.

A concerned Colonel's March comes to stay with Emily and investigate the supernatural. One night she hears the piano being played and comes across a familiar figure...


Colonel March is dining in Piccadilly Circus with Inspector Ames (Ewan Roberts) when a mysterious woman (Isabel George) interrupts, hoping the Colonel will pretend to be her lover because she is being followed by a strange man and fears for her life. He instantly recognizes the girl as a French model named Fleur, working in London for the Jean-Pierre Couturier.

Later that night, March is attacked by the stranger (Peter Dyneley), who demands certain clothing designs that Fleur supposedly slipped the Colonel. In the morning, Fleur is found lying dead on the floor of her apartment, wearing a different pair of shoes than she had earlier, as the investigation continues with Monsieur Jean-Pierre (Lee) and his wife (Frances Rowe) prime suspects.
