The plot is too laboriously constructed, and the reason for the murders appears too incredible.

One of Launder and Gilliat's most likeable films.

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.

Green for Danger is just another proof that the British, too, can make mediocre pictures.
