7/10
Though highly improbable in nearly every way...
31 December 2023
...the film is paced so quickly and continues its plotting so ambitiously that you, as a viewer, won't even think about its implausibility. Richard Bird plays a very alcoholic reporter whose career is on the wane, and whose boss is pushing him to get it together or else. Meanwhile, Richard has feeling for the boss's daughter (Nancy Burne), and this is going nowhere. Enter Diana Napier (the eponymous Warren of the title of the film) - who Richard Bird has known before - and also enter Edward Underdown who has been seeing the boss's daughter. The plot thickens with Richard Bird feeding the embers of several fires which are bound to ignite and create a conflagration. Eventually, Diana Napier is dead and Underdown is falsely accused, tried, and convicted.

For 75 minutes it's a very good romp and well worth the viewer's time. Directed by Walter Summers with crackling speed.
