Twenty Plus Two
Twenty Plus Two (a.k.a. "It Started in Tokyo") is a 1961 American film noir directed by Joseph M. Newman and starring David Janssen, Jeanne Crain, and Dina Merrill.[1] The film adapted Frank Gruber's 1961 novel of the same title.[2]
Plot
Janssen portrays Tom Alder, an investigator looking into the murder of a movie star's fan club secretary, and its possible connection to a missing heiress who had disappeared many years earlier. Crain plays Linda Foster, an old love of Alder's who re-enters his life, competing with her friend Nicki Kovacs (Merrill) as she tries to win him back. Agnes Moorehead and William Demarest appear in support roles, each for only one scene with Janssen.
