Comment/Synopsis

Kenneth More is Richard Hannay, the innocent man caught up in in a spy plot after a woman is killed in his flat. Kenneth More gives a calm, almost flat performance at times in this version of the film. This is an adequate, if uninspiring version of the story from the John Buchan novel.
