“Green
for Danger” is a crime thriller, based on the book by Christianna Brand and
Directed by Sidney Gilliat.
The
film is set in a rural English hospital during World War II, where a postman
Joseph Higgins (Moore Marriott) dies on the operating table after which one of
the theatre staff Sister Carter (Wendy Thompson) states publicly that Higgins
was murdered and she has proof of who the murderer is, but before she can
unmask the killer she is then murdered herself.
So
the facetious and enigmatic Scotland Yard Inspector Cockrill (Alastair Sim)
arrives to investigate and very soon suspects one of the doctors and nurses who
were in the operating theatre during the surgery to be the assassin, but which
one?
In
this straightforwardly plotted mystery Leo Genn, Henry Edwards, Trevor Howard,
Ronald Adam, Judy Campbell, Wendy Thompson, Rosamund John, Sally Gray and Megs
Jenkins make up the medical contingent in a little gem from the heyday of
British Cinema.
