CinemaSerf on The Green Buddha

6/10 · Nov 14, 2022

The storyline isn't particularly original; it’s a familiar type of crime story. A statue gets stolen from a museum, and the thieves plan to fly away to Glasgow—a city apparently known for handling smuggled antiques, maybe because of a restaurant named "Mr. Wong's" on Sauchiehall Street. Their plane, piloted by the imposing Wayne Morris ("Holden"), goes down during the escape. The thief gets away, and the protagonist then has to find him and the statue so he can get the reward money needed to repair his damaged aircraft. During this pursuit, he encounters and becomes infatuated with a rather unremarkable nightclub singer named "Vivian" (Mary Germaine), and they end up heading toward an eventful final act. Kenneth Griffith and Walter Rilla provide some enjoyable supporting performances, which help maintain a decent pace, although the plot is fairly predictable. It’s acceptable entertainment—a low-budget production that occupies about sixty minutes.
