Plot Synopsis

It's Not Cricket

For accidentally letting a dangerous Nazi, Otto (Maurice Denham), escape, Major Bright (Basil Redford) and Captain Early (Naunton Wayne) are cashiered out of the army. Together, they set up a private detective agency, but the errant Nazi still dogs their tracks on every case. He finally involves them in a barmy cricket match where the ball contains a stolen diamond.

The film has its moments of humour and revives memories of Radford and Wayne as the cricket-obsessed travellers in Hitchcock’s The Lady Vanishes (1938).
