SICKS6SIX S a fantastic film, great actors, great script and great directing, even the setting is great, A cottage hospital, Rememebr them ? Simms is in top form and the rest of the cast doesn't disappoint, not one dudd in the whole film, This film if made today would be a farce because this film is 100% reliant on the actors actually acting, back then everyone of these actors would have served their apprenticeship in repertory theatre learning their craft, Example Neil Tennent is considered Britains best actor today, he could not tie the shoe laces of the hospital porter in the film, he has 3 minute appearance and is asleep, if you visit RT you are a bit of a film buff and you have probably seen this film, but its worth watching again, Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/20/25 Full Review Audience Member Crisply photographed by Oswald Morris, this low budget post-war whodunnit benefits from the wartime paranoia - careless talk costs lives - and constant threat from bombings as its protagonists - a small team of medics - deal with a series of murders on the operating table, sexual betrayal, and - most terrifying of all - the amused attentions of Alastair Sim's determined Inspector Cockerill. The sound mix occasionally drowns out the dialogue, but it's entertaining stuff, and foreshadows every Agatha Christie adaptation you've ever seen. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Frances H I just love Alistair Sim! What a wonderful actor he was! This is a very nifty murder mystery, but a crucial clue is kept from the audience, which only the inspector knows, which in my view is rather a cheat on the audience. In really first rate mysteries all of the clues should be in plain sight, so that the audience (or reader, as the case may be) has a chance to solve it! Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/28/21 Full Review Audience Member Apart from a dud ending this is an excellent whodunnit. Trevor Howard gives his usual intense performance and as well as the murder mystery there's plenty of drama arising from the love triangle between Howard, Leo Genn and the sumptuous Sally Gray. Alastair Sim as Inspector Cockrill steals the show, though, somehow managing to be extremely funny without in any way undercutting the drama. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member A well done British mystery set in southeast England during the V1 blitz of World War 2. Well acted and well plotted. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/25/18 Full Review Audience Member Decent, slightly strange mystery movie. Inspector Cockrill, played by Alastair Sim, is clearly the highlight. It's too bad they didn't make his character into a series. His sense of humor and non omnipotence is a refreshing take on the mystery sleuth. Also interesting in terms of being an early postwar film, you can see the influence of it, much like many US postwar movies.
