Cottage to Let (1941)
Directed by Anthony
Asquith this film stars Leslie Banks, Alastair Sim, John Mills, Carla
Lehmann and George Cole. During WW2 one of the new arrivals at a
scientists country estate in Scotland is a spy but who is it?
This spy film is
pretty standard fare and fits in well with other period propaganda
and paranoia pieces. Most of the plot is fairly simple and as you
would expect, it is not an overly complex mystery but it does give
away the game a little too early to be very gripping. George Cole in
the child evacuee role has the potential to be an annoying no it all
but actually works pretty well with in the film.
3/5
