Featured review
An inauspicious screen debut for James Mason
This totally forgettable British relic is notable only for being the film debut of a then 26-year-old James Mason fresh from stage training. The routine story has young go-getter reporter Mason on the trail of a bank robber who killed a constable. All predictable in a short running time. Leading lady Virginia Cherrill (passed off as Canadian) is best known as the blind flower girl in Chaplin's "City Lights." The great character actor Alastair Sim (the definitive Ebeneezer Scrooge) plays Mason's editor. You would never guess from the movie or Mason's performance that he would become a Hollywood and international screen star.
