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 Kovac (Merrill) as she tries to win him back. Agnes Moorehead and William Demarest appear in support roles, each for only one scene with Janssen.

Critical reception
Allmovie called it a "talkative but interesting murder mystery."[3]
gollark: I had another idea, which was to not have virtual channels and just have virtual point-to-point links then use magic™ to find connected subgraphs of things, but this would also be complex.
gollark: Is it to just maintain a list of "bridging" links and do inter-virtual-channel routing on those? This would be a bit flaky and complex I think.
gollark: Is the system to just merge the virtual channels? This would be problematic to unmerge later.
gollark: But then I realized that this had a significant problem; what happens if virtual channels A and B both connect to Discord channel 124091724?
gollark: So I was thinking of an AutoBotRobot "virtual channel" publish/subscribe bridge where Discord channels could link up to a virtual channel, and IRC could also link to that via some glue code, and all would be cool and good™, and ApioTelephone could just create virtual channels temporarily.
