The shady world of war-time espionage infiltrates the thatched cottages and leafy lanes of rural Britain in this enjoyable but unremarkable comedy-thriller from Anthony Asquith. Alastair Sim leads an eclectic cast that includes Leslie Banks as an eccentric inventor, Michael Wilding as his assistant, and John Mills as a dashing airman, all of whom converge on the titular cottage. A 15-year-old George (Arfur Daley) Cole drops his aitches in his screen debut as a Cockney evacuee, and Wally Patch also makes an appearance - as he seems to have done in every British film made between 1933 and 1948.
