Set in a rural English hospital during World War II, Sidney Gilliat's 1946 film is a fascinating mix of suspense and intrigue. Green for Danger offers an intricately designed plot that slowly reveals the mystery behind the series of strange deaths. Just like Knives Out, the film takes a slow-burn approach that gradually builds tension and allows for the unfolding of the characters' motives and secrets. The ensemble cast, including Alastair Sim as the eccentric Inspector Cockrill, delivers strong performances that add depth to the story.
