Pedestrian Passenger
30 April 2017
Warning: Spoilers
'Passenger To London' runs at just under an hour but it seems longer as it is a bit dull. Most of it is set in a small hotel. Secret blueprints are secreted in the luggage of a woman traveling to London and our heroes attempts to track down the lady and thus the plans while evading the clutches of the villains, Vautel and Veinberg (great names!). It all sorts itself out in the end. Ho hum. It could have done with more pace and excitement.

John Warwick as our main hero Frank Drayton is unfortunately rather irritating but Dorothy Dewhurst as the hotel owner and Sybil Brooke as the hotel guest are entertaining at least. Jenny Laird as the girl innocently caught up in the missing blueprint business is sweet and easy on the eyes. The ubiquitous Ben Williams has a small role.

The director Lawrence Huntington made better films later including the excellent 'Mr. Perrin and Mr. Traill' (1948),
