Green for Danger is just another proof that the British, too, can make mediocre pictures.

The plot is too laboriously constructed, and the reason for the murders appears too incredible.

One of Launder and Gilliat's most likeable films.

[Director Sidney] Gilliat's urbane treatment presents the whole story not to terrify but entertain; and he does .this very well.

Its final twists came a little too fast and twisty for me.

Though the story has plenty of improbabilities when considered in cold blood, this thriller holds one well when on the screen.

Apart from a dud ending this is an excellent whodunnit. Trevor Howard gives his usual intense performance and as well as the murder mystery there's plenty of drama arising from the love triangle between Howard, Leo Genn and the sumptuous Sally Gray. Alastair Sim as Inspector Cockrill steals the show, though, somehow managing to be extremely funny without in any way undercutting the drama.
