I liked this.
There is a lot here- There are three blind men-three blind mice ala Dr No. We see Quinn in a Hawaiian shirt-ala Tom Selleck. Magnum P.I wrapped up presumably during filming
The colour scheme and location is fantastic
I first became aware of this motion picture during one of my first jobs. The BBC had recently showed it, and people were talking about it
Denzel Washington plays Xavier Quinn Chief of Police on a small Caribbean Island- I think it is supposed to be Jamaica- but the island feels smaller. It also has a Governor. The great game is being played by West and East in the background
One world is passing, You can hear the RP spoken in Dr NO by Norman Beaton. Quinn notes that Beaton's Chalk was once the poultry inspector. James Fox plays a luxury Hotel owner -there has been a murder
This is island that needs tourist dollars
The prime suspect is Quinn's best friend
It has a lot to recommend- an interesting McGuffin a 10000 dollar bill. A bumbling tourist who turns out to be a CIA killer- Who has a friend called Pater, that sounds like Palter
Why it has not been remade I don't know
