"The Villiers Diamond" is a modestly enjoyable British mystery...and very typical for the genre. While it doesn't involve murder (and there were just too many of those films back in the day), it is still pretty ordinary as far as the writing and acting are concerned.
The story begins with Barker being released from prison after serving two years. He is suspected of having stolen the Villier Diamond....but police have been unable to prove it. But Barker DID steal it and his greed as well as his partner's greed might just be their undoing. There are not surprises here, though the film is entertaining and watchable.
