“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.
