Reviews
The plot is too laboriously constructed, and the reason for the murders appears too incredible.
Loved this first-rate Brit whodunit that's set in an emergency cottage hospital during WWII.
Green For Danger will give the aisleside sleuths a better workout than they have had for months and it also will rest easily with those who are content just to sit back and let the story resolve itself.
An unfairly overlooked delight in the annals of British film history.
