Trevor Howard and Alistair Sim, when you put those two names together you just have to watch.
And guess what, both delivered on the promise. Howard being terribly British in times of crisis, and a pillar of society, whilst Sim delivered his usual whimsical charm and charisma. Trouble is, this is not quite what you want from a seemingly straight murder mystery. The mystery was good, playing on war time sentiment and twisting all the way to the end. The comic relief didn't sit well though. It was too "Ealing" for the rest of the film.
Go ahead and watch it, it's not terrible, but not the best it could have been.
