Stirring tale of the French Resistance and their hunt for a traitor within. Incompetent crooks kidnap Terry-Thomas' wife, Brenda de Banzie, but he doesn't want her back. Terry-Thomas gives his definitive performance and George Cole shines as the gang's useless Mr Big. Neville Shute's novel about the suffering of Western women interned by the Japanese in the Far East is turned into a memorable film. Virginia McKenna heads the female cast and gives her most memorable performance as she falls for Aussie Peter Finch.

W.P. Lipscomb, Richard Mason. After the local tart is found strangled, Scotland Yard man John Mills is called in to investigate. Rather a good whodunit. It's the sort of thing that's been seen a million times before and since, but it's done well. Of course, strictly speaking it's the middle class bit of town that's on trial.
