Green for Danger

Britain   Trevor Howard

From 1946. Old-fashioned, wonderfully done Agatha Christie-type murder mystery set in a provincial hospital during the war. V-1's going overhead. Extremely complicated plot. Luscious B/W studio-bound photography. Comic, perceptive Scotland Yard inspector who doesn't quite outfox everybody.

This film raced along lickety split and was great fun to watch...made me wonder why no one makes films like this anymore.
