Green for Danger (1946 Sidney Gilliat)

Sally Gray, Trevor Howard, Rosamund John, Alastair Sim, Leo Genn, Judy Campbell (the overwrought one), Megs Jenkins, Moore Marriott 

DP Wilkie Cooper, camera Oswald Morris, music William Alwyn. Written by Gilliatt and Claud Gurney, from Christianna Brand novel. A Gilliatt / Launder production.

Murders in studio-based, war torn hospital, with Sim a jolly centre as ironic (and somewhat cocky) detective in a hotbed of suspicion, sexual jealousy and murder. A nice mixture, a delicious performance.


Liked the moment Sim thinks he's solved the crime novel he's reading - turns to the end - realises he hasn't.
