The Face at the Window
by richardchatten2020-07-05
5/10

"An escapist wartime revue film masquerading as a murder mystery historically notable as the big screen debut of Jack ('Blue Pencil') Warner when he was famous as a radio comedian. Enlivened as usual by it's bit players, most of them uncredited, such as a statuesque young Hy Hazel when she answered to the name of Derna, and Ian Wilson and Olive Sloane, both of whom appeared memorably for the Boulting Brothers after the war in 'Seven Days to Noon'...."
