....because as a mystery, it simply does not deliver. There is only one murder, it happens three quarters of the way into the film (which runs 72 minutes), and it's almost immediately clear who is responsible; the film seems more preoccupied with the irony of the developments that follow. The story does at times focus on an interesting and always topical theme (fame and success, based on public deception, and how they can lead to moral corruption), but it's rather tiresome to watch, maybe because, with the exception of Ralph Forbes' unsung (pun intended) vocalist, none of the other characters are engaging enough (though the actors themselves are pretty good). *1/2 out of 4.
