Review of The Girl from Scotland Yard

A female Scotland Yard agent going after a supervillain who has a death ray sounds exciting but this film isn't really. The titular character, Linda Beech, doesn't get to do much, the film to it's detriment highlighting the actions of the typically annoying reporter Derrick Holt, played boringly by Robert Baldwin. The film does have sneering Eduardo Ciannelli as the villain Franz Jorg (an exiled Englishman in disguise) and the ever charming Karen Morley as Linda to its advantage however and the film is only worth seeing for them. The film makes topical use of stock footage of the coronation of George VI in 1937.
