Curiosidades
Based on the BBC Radio serial "Send For Paul Temple Again" (broadcast over September to November 1945) by Francis Durbridge, which was novelised by the author in 1948 and later remade for radio as "Paul Temple and the Alex Affair" (February to March 1968). This was the final BBC Radio Temple serial until Radio 4's run of remakes began in 2006, and saw the killer's name (minimally) changed from Rex to Alex.

Pifias
The literate Temples quote from Richard Lovelace's 1642 poem "To Althea, from Prison" ("Stone walls do not a prison make,/Nor iron bars a cage"). He is, however, believed to have written it whilst at Westminster's Gatehouse Prison, not Canterbury.

Citas

Calling Paul Temple

Like many films based on radio plays; the writing tends to forget we also have images to process too and so they run a bit to language. This gentle detective murder-mystery falls into that trap and the wordy dialogue robs the thing of pace somewhat. That said, John Bentley and Dinah Sheridan deliver engaging, cheery performances as they are brought in by Scotland Yard to assist in the search for "Rex" - a mysterious blackmailer/murderer who is preying on women. Features some eerily lit scenes in Canterbury which add significantly to the tenseness of the drama with some hypnotism and fisticuffs at the end.
