Watched ‘Green for Danger’ last night with my Mum & Dad. Mid-40s film with Alistair Sim as a police detective investigating murders at a wartime hospital. The set up was good and Leo Genn was excellent as the surgeon who’s both oily & suspicious and sympathetic & intelligent. The ending was a bit of a damp squib though and didn’t seem plausible. Alistair Sim was a delight of course. It may have been his first big film role. #AlistairSim #LeoGenn #OldBritishFilms #WW2
