Anecdotes
In the UK, surgeons, even though they have graduated medical school like all other physicians, are traditionally called Mister (or Mrs. or Miss).

Gaffes
As the movie takes place in 1944 whilst Britain is being attacked by V1 bombs ('doodlebugs'), the windows and glass doors in the hospital should have been taped to prevent glass being shattered by an explosion and blowing in on people inside.

7/10

fine British murder mystery

It's 1944 at Heron's Park Hospital. A buzz bomb flies overhead resulting in casualties. Joseph Higgins is brought to the hospital but dies on the operating table. Anesthetist Barney Barnes (Trevor Howard) is suspected but he refuses to accept responsibility. Sister Bates claims to have evidence but is murdered before revealing it. Scotland Yard Inspector Cockrill (Alistair Sim) comes to investigate.

There has been many iconic literary British murder mystery. I've never heard of this one nor the novelist Christianna Brand. Alistair Sim gives it charisma. He drives the movie but I don't think the character turns into a franchise. He has the potential but it's not used. I do have some minor questions about the mystery. All in all, this is pretty good.
