its place as one of the most suc­ cessful of British war films be­


cause it has captured trie spirit of toe home front |without sentimentality or flag waving. It is the story of a typical British family at the outbreak ! o f , war, and gives Patricia Roc scope for a fine ' performance as the domesticated Miss who takes up war work in a munition factory. She lives in a hostel and makes friends with girls from all over Britain, among them Anne Craw­ ford. Megs Jenkins and Terry Randal. The factory foreman Eric Portman, finds romance

To begin with it has a lively ,dog-chaslng- its-tail situation in which Claude Rains, a radio favourite who thrills millions daily with his soft-spoken stories of murder and intrigue, finds tha,t murder really is no laughing matter when it happens in ihis own home. Mr. Rains liyes in a magnificent country estate and has an unpleasant niece Audrey Totter, who is not slow to try and lay hands on a considerable in­ heritance when Mr. Rain’s ward, Joan Caulfield, is . reported lost at sea. Miss Tatter has a weak­ ling husband, Hurd:, Hatfield, wrio spends most of: his time draped round a cocktail bar, and also involved in the mystery when Mr. Rain’S secretary is suddenly murdered is Constance Bennett who introduces a welcome note-of light relief into the macabre surroundings as wisecracking radio !,producer. Newcomer Michael 'North makes his first 'screen appearance as itoe enterprising young I man who


turns up uninvited one night at Mr. Rain’s home. With disarm­ ing efficiency he takes chafge of ■the investigations of the secre­ tary’s death, which, incidentally is only the first of a whole series of deaths each of which is unmis- takeably linked with : the last. Mr. North unravels the mystery in a tense climax which has been cleverly contrived by that master of timing and suspense, Michael Curtiz. His direction has produced a taut, exciting tale which will keep yoii guessing.
