Question
Hi i saw an old movie when i was little i can remember it vaguely its about an undercover spy cop figuring out a murder and adressing the camera much i remember he falls in love and witnesses a murder or partakes in one at a phonebox?

Answer
Hi Timmy,

I don't think I can give you a definite answer about the title of this film, from what you've described.  If I knew about what year(s) the film was made, or any of the actors, I might have a clue.
I think there may have been a number of "cop" movies where the main character addresses the camera,...and I recall one from the '40s, called "Lady in the Lake", where the main character, a "private eye" narrates the film...but is never seen, except in a mirror for a minute.  (YOU, the audience sees everything thru His eyes.)
Perhaps one of the other "experts" will be able to help you with this one.
