Written and directed by Cy Endfield with Harry Mitchell (William Gargan) becoming the only reporter allowed to interview the person lying in bed, who reveals to him regarding the "Argyle Secrets". As soon as he dies, Henry Mitchell becomes the prime suspect since he was supposedly be the last person who has seen with him. And before he died he reveals to him the reason he may be killed and that is because "The Argyle" statuette hence the title which at first viewers assume that it is the statute like the "The Maltese Falcon but as the movie is progressing it is actually an album full of names which is more relevant to WWII and not a basic copy of "the Maltese Falcon".
Because the short running time of less than a an hour and a half this film is intriguing enough to keep me guessing until the very end I become enlightened enough to know who was using who. There is also a an element of Murder She Said in it as well as there is a strong lug in here which makes the overall experience to be unpredictable as well.
