Movie Reviews of Green For Danger

Movie Review: Nifty Little British Murder Mystery
Summary: 4 Stars

Sidney Gilliat worked on the early Hitchcock films and it shows. He was at the top of his form in 1946 when he directed Green For Danger. This is a little seen film that deserves more recognition and may get it in a future release by the Criterion Collection.

Alastair Sim plays the very droll Inspector Cockrill whi has been sent out to investigate a murder at a rural English hospital during the continuous German bombing of Britain in the waning days of WWII. A postman (Moore Marriott) dies on the operating table during a seemingly minor operation. The killer is one of a group of doctors and nurses involved in the operation. The doctors (Trevor Howard and Leo Genn) have a competition going for the affection of Nurse Frederica Linley (Sally Gray) and other medical attendees also have reasons for dispatching the lead nurse who claims at a party that she can identify the killer.

Even though the film follows the routine one of the people in this room is the killer model it never feels dated. The acting is quite good all the way around and some of the lines (penned by Gilliat and Claud Gurney from the popular novel by Christianna Brand) are marvelous after all these years. To say anymore would be to spoil the fun.

The disc that I viewed is by Nostalgia Family and offers a good transfer with decent sound. There are no extra features. For a small mystery that is over 50 years old this is quite a good package indeed.

Don't miss it.

Summary of Green For Danger

Alastair Sim is wonderfully droll as Scotland Yard's Inspector Cockrill, whose latest case has him stumped. A bomb, a hospital and a mailman are all parts of the puzzle he must put together in this jolly good mystery tale. Sally Gray, Trevor Howard and Leo Genn add deft support. 91 min.
