Night Watch

There is very little new about these stock murder mystery questions or even Hutton's treatment of the story as a whole. In fact, in parts it lacks of imagination makes it positively melodramatic.

Lucille Fletcher's Night Watch isn't the first average stage play to be turned into a better than average film. Astute direction and an improved cast more than help.

Tired, old-fashioned thriller.

This is a film that works because of the ingenuity of its plotting, the atmospheric traditionalism of its direction and the skill of its playing, especially by the artful Miss Taylor.
