Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaEven though the film was made in 1943, there is no mention or evidence that World War II was at its peak, with London under attack from repeated and devastating Nazi bombing raids, and the entire population involved in some kind of war related defense activity. Not a single person, male or female, is seen in uniform, or even mentions the war, and the entire cast goes about their business, with nothing of importance apparently going on in London or in the world, except some guy doing away with his unwanted girl friend. During a visit to a newsreel theatre, there's no news of any kind on the screen, just what looks like some kind of Latin American musical.

Featured review
I like crime films and David Farrar,so this film came as rather a disappointment.The climax is really phoney.There is a very reasonable cast to support him but they cannot save the film from mediocrity.I was more interested in the reasonably authentic representation of the Waterloo news cinema with which I was very familiar.Before 3pm there was a one hour news programme and after old British films.It was operated by the classic circuit.
