Neatly constructed British whodunit with a terrific plot "hook" (right out of the gate it introduces 6 characters and tells you that in a short while 2 of them will be dead and 1 of them is a murderer) and twists & turns down to the last minute, enacted by a first-rate cast with a deliciously wry Alastair Sim stealing the second half of the show. In my single favorite scene, which couriously enough I don't recall having seen in another movie, he is reading a mystery book and, bored, he skips right to the last page to find out the killer! But despite the humor that he injects into the proceedings (some of which appears to have been ad-libbed), the nightmarishness of the war conditions for these doctors and nurses is not ignored. If there is a flaw in the movie, it's that the killer's true motive for the first murder is completely obscured from the viewer. *** out of 4.
