The last film of Will Hay's career (although not the last time we'll see Hay on this challenge, with The Goose Steps Out (1942) and The Big Blockade (1942) still to come), this is a fantastic little black comedy-thriller that speeds through its plot with a series of slapstick routines, strong performances and a great final sequence on the clock face of Big Ben.
