Review of Gideon of Scotland Yard

I had to confess that was taken aback by John Ford in a field which he didn't dominate, the cosmopolitan environment, he was the master of the vastness of the western, small village as "The Quiet Man", aloneness on war pictures and so on, but on a crowd city was few experiences, Gideon's Day was a bulky intent, browse a single day of a Scotland Yard inspector on London, boastfully played by Jack Hawkins as Gideon, all sort of happening in a busy Friday, robbery on bank's output, bribe on your section, maniac at large, report from a squealer, salmon for dinner and lost tickets for his daughter's screening debut on the orchestra, all this underpinned by a quirky British humor, the highlight are the couple guys as his assistants the waspish Det. Sgt. Liggot (Frank Lawton) and the priceless Sergeant Golightly (Michael Trubshawe), between a unending comings and goings the Inspector gonna crazy, a rare conceptive picture seen nowadays, introducing the fine actress Anna Massey at tender age, smallest great picture from the master!!
