Gas, Inspector Palmu!

About This Movie

Gas, Inspector Palmu! is a charming blend of comedy and crime, where the humor cleverly intertwines with the investigation. Set against the backdrop of 1960s Helsinki, the film has this almost cozy yet macabre atmosphere. You can feel the cold, chilly air of the city as Inspector Palmu, played with delightful nuance, unravels the case of a rich widow's gas poisoning. The pacing is just right, letting the audience savor each clue without dragging. The performances are engaging, especially Palmu's banter with his sidekicks. It’s interesting how they use practical effects to create that sense of claustrophobia in the apartment. The balcony entrance point adds a touch of intrigue and creativity, making it stand out from typical whodunits of its time.
