(1956)Directed by Robert Day, Basil Dearden80 minComedy, Crime
“The Kind of Picture the British Have a Way With...Things Like Very Merry Murders...Very Unusual Characters...Very Sly Sex...And All Combined in an Uproar of Laughs and Suspense”

Hawkins (Alastair Sim) has just disposed of a dictator and a millionaire with bombs, and his next job is a politician bound for a remote hotel called The Green Man. The politician is going there for a secret tryst with his secretary, but vacuum salesman William Blake (George Cole) discovers the plot and decides to stop it. Robert Day directs this black-and-white British comedy, and it ends on Hawkins, who repairs watches by trade and kills by appointment.
