Dir: William Kronick
Starring: Harvey Lembeck and Sinéad Cusack
An American detective goes to Dublin on vacation and helps the local police in a murder investigation
This poor crime thriller suffers not only the problem of trying to rework an over familiar storyline, but also from an identity crisis. Depending on which source, it seems to be known as either A Likely Story or Horowitz in Dublin, and also had the alternative US title of Dublin Murder. It features a single shot of a passenger train passing along an embankment at the end of a street. Although it is a little obscured by the actors in the shot, the train consists of a Metro-Vick 001 Class diesel hauling Cravens stock. 1974 was the first year in which this vulnerable class began to be withdrawn.
