A 1941 British spy thriller film directed by Anthony Asquith starring Leslie Banks, Alastair Sim and John Mills. Filmed during the Second World War and set in Scotland during the war, its plot concerns Nazi spies trying to kidnap an inventor.
Upper class Mrs. Barrington (Jeanne de Casalis) has agreed to take in two child evacuees from London, including cocky teenager Ronald (George Cole), lodging them in a cottage she owns near Loch Tay. However, it has already been let to annoyingly inquisitive Charles Dimble (Alastair Sim). To compound the confusion, Mrs. Barrington had also agreed to allow it to be converted into a military hospital.

Never knew George Cole was a child actor. Amazing how his well known theatrical persona was identifiable so early
Alastair Sims was a marvellous actor, such depth
Wow George Cole a young lad in this. such first class act actors and lovely no swearing it's so innocent x

My mom was born in 1941 so I sent this movie to her. I love these black and white British movies. Ty ty ty ????
What did Elizabeth Taylor see in Michael Wilding?
Alastair Sim?! I'm in!
brilliant.
GOOD MOVIE, THANK YOU..
Alastair Sim was one of my favourite actors — he never made a bad movie — and Michael Wilding was so handsome. Loved the movie. Thanks for posting,
Alistair Sim was a great actor. Not forgetting George Cole. thanks for the video.
I watched this movie can somebody sum up the plot because I haven't got a clue what it is about so boring
This film is a comedy
Another British film good cast n
An excellent wartime thriller with top actors. Propaganda, but it does not detract from some fine acting and directing. Thanks for posting this.
Excellent
Great movie and I love the cast…BUT…John Mills 'death scene' was pure H-A-M. Still, many thanx for this great little movie.
Enjoyed.
Adore this film, watched on numerous occasions, fantastic ????
Thanks John Mills makes a superb nazi what a great ensemble cast. A little gem.
One of the best death scenes. Can you imagine looking at yourself in a mirror while life is ebbing out of you?
Early Michael Wilding!
29:25 "Ronald" (Cole) – "'ellen bought me a new suit, two dickie dirts [cockney rhyming slang] & a posh new jumper" "Mrs Barrington" (Casalis) relies to "Ronald" – " Don't be vulgar child, run along ".
I don't think "Ronald" ( George Cole ) was a 'cocky teenager'. I believe he's more keen, aware & level-headed the sort of qualities needed to keep him alive, during those difficult times where poverty & hardship were common place to all.
John Mills as a baddie to boot… Great acting all around….
Who knew that cheeky young chap would grow up to be a used car salesman. ????
You can never go wrong with Alastair Sm
What a great actor George Cole was for such a youngster, he was 16 there.very natural awareness.
The ending is pure noir before noir existed. The Lady from Shanghai anyone?
Exciting cloak and dagger in WWII
Good Heavens Mr Mills Played the Part of a Rat.
George Cole is such a superb young actor in this. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for the upload , can’t get enough black & Whites so much better than what Hollywood turns out these days.
