Mr. Denning Drives North (1951)
Country: GB
Technical: bw 93m
Director: Anthony Kimmins
Cast: John Mills, Phyllis Calvert, Eileen Moore, Sam Wanamaker, Herbert Lom
Synopsis:
A distinguished aircraft manufacturer commits manslaughter trying to keep his daughter from the clutches of a cad, but is so tormented when the body is not discovered that he compromises himself trying to find out what has happened to it.
Review:
Eccentric murder mystery with Hitchcockian touches, from London Films. It relies on the hero committing the utmost foolery not just once but twice, but is sprightly enough to sustain interest while it's on. Oddly though, the principal credits are given vocally before the film lurches into a nightmare court sequence, and we only get to see traditional titles at the end.
