Kathryn Mason: We're having mutton tomorrow.
Richard Mason: I don't like mutton.
Kathryn Mason: I don't know why you say such a thing. I've seen you eat it a thousand times.
Richard Mason: A thousand times I told you I don't like it.

Mystery loving audiences will pick up the all-important clue immediately. Whether you do or don't, it's hard not to enjoy the most standard of films with a cast like this. As an added kick, the film has a psychological feature to it, which started to become all the rage toward the end of WWII.
