Their investigation leads to Thomas Colpeper (Eric Portman), a village squire whose local slide-shows celebrate life in an idyllic rural England threatened by wartime change.
She is most moving in her scene in the mouldering caravan she once shared with her missing-presumed-dead fiancé.
Also central to the disorienting plotting is Eric Portman as the ambivalent and ambiguous Colpeper, a Powell & Pressburger regular who could convey the sinister and the reassuring almost simultaneously.

 dOc DVD Review: Wanted For Murder (1946) - Printable
Anne (Dulcie Gray) is off to meet her beau, Victor (Eric Portman), at the Hampstead Heath fairgrounds, but en route a fellow on the underground starts chatting her up—he's a genial sort, and so what might seem creepy from someone else is rather charming with him.
His name is Jack (Derek Farr), and he's seen Anne before; he's a bus conductor, and before he was transferred, she traveled on his line every day to work.
But this film preceded Hitchcock's by five years, so issues of influence are unclear; though in a couple of shots, Eric Portman is shot so much like Robert Walker is in Hitchcock's movie that it's hard to imagine that Hitch hadn't seen this.

Born: July 13, 1903 in Yorkshire, England, UK Died: December 7, 1969 in St. Veop Cornwall England
He kicked off his British film career in 1933, remaining within that country's film industry until his death, save for a brief visit to Hollywood in 1937 to play a minor role in The Prince and the Pauper.
Shuttling from hero to villain and back again with finesse, Portman most strikingly demonstrated his versatility in a brace of Powell-Pressburger films of the war years: he played a scurrilous escaped Nazi in 49th Parallel (1941), then portrayed a heroic RAF officer in One of Our Aircraft is Missing (1942).
