Audience Member British comedy about an absent-minded British scientist stumbling across a nest of Nazi spies on a deserted island off the Scottish coast. Comedy and mystery mix naturally in this entertaining and underrated film, Arthur Askey being the leading man and doing a good job at it. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Read all reviews
