Feature Film
Director: Sidney Gilliat
Writers: Sidney Gilliat, Claud Gurney, Christianna Brand
Cinematographer: Wilkie Cooper
Composer: William Alwyn
Cast: Alastair Sim, Sally Gray, Trevor Howard, Rosamund John, Leo Genn, Judy Campbell, Megs Jenkins, Moore Marriott
The incomparable, mercurial Sim enlivens an otherwise rather silly whodunit with a raft of wonderful facial expressions, plus there are some nice comic moments, but the central mystery, revolving around a couple of murders in a rural hospital towards the end of the Second World War, is never even vaguely believable, and as for the horrible underuse of the brilliant Marriott - unforgivable.
