Burdened by the conventions of its era, "The Girl Of Scotland Yard" does not deliver upon the promise of its title. "The Girl" (a game but rather bland Karen Morley) does not get to do much except get captured by the villains. Most of the screen time goes to the male lead, Robert Baldwin, who is even blander (according to IMDb, his film career essentially lasted only five years, and you can see why). Eduardo Cianelli is better as the villain, but he can't rescue the film from the clutches of boredom. There is an ambitious aerial action climax, however it is hard to get too excited about it when it's so obvious that the actors never left the ground and much of the footage is actually stock footage from other sources. *1/2 out of 4.
