Robert Hamer directed this thoroughly delightful comedy based on one of G
K Chesterton's "Father Brown" stories, (it's also known as "The Detective"), and cast Alec Guinness as the priest and amateur sleuth determined not only to catch master thief Flambeau, (Peter Finch), but to save his soul as well. The humor is gentle and very British and both Guinness and Finch are marvellous as the detective and the criminal who strike up a fond rapport with each other. Others in the fine cast include Joan Greenwood, Cecil Parker and Bernard Lee. Underrated and worth seeking out.Friday, 8 March 2019
