	Voyager: In Depth: Green for Danger
		Gilliat's considerable achievement was to transmute this unlikely source into a true comedy.
		Gilliat has accurately described Green For Danger as "a film presented in quotation marks." He allows the viewer to share his evident discomfort at trading in stereotypes, but without nudges or winks he establishes a bond with the audience and never breaks faith.
		Gilliat steadfastly refuse to condescend to his material and by sheer imagination transcends the genre.

	Sidney Gilliat - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sidney Gilliat (February 15, 1908–May 31, 1994) was a British film director, producer and writer.
		He was born in the district of Edgeley in Stockport, Cheshire.
		While Launder concentrated on directing their comedies, most famously the four St Trinian's School films, Gilliat showed a preference for comedy-thrillers and dramas, including Green for Danger (1946), London Belongs to Me (1948) and State Secret (1950).

	Launder and Gilliat (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Launder and Gilliat were one of the most productive teams to work in British films.
		They got to the top of their profession as WWII was looming and proceeded over the next decade and a half to show us as we wanted to be shown: eccentric but real.
		They brought the monstrous girls of St Trinian's to the screen though their best school comedy is the sublime The Happiest Days of Your Life.

	Britmovie - Sidney Gilliat \| Gilliat and Launder Biography
		Sidney Gilliat entered the industry in 1927 and became screenwriter on such classics as The Ghost Train (1931), Rome Express (1932) and Bulldog Jack (1935).
		Later he began a long and successful partnership with Frank Launder as screenwriters, their early joint credits include Seven Sinners (1936), Alfred Hitchcock’s The Lady Vanishes (1938), Carol Reed's Night Train to Munich (1940) and The Young Mr Pitt (1942).
		Whilst Launder demonstrated a flair for suspense and intrigue, there was always a strong element of humour in Gilliat's work, scarcely rich enough to be called satire, but not broad enough for slapstick either.

		Superb as Rex Harrison and Lilli Palmer are, their individual performances are equalled by many others in the big cast.
		Direction by Sidney Gilliat who with Frank Launder, also wrote [from a story by Val Valentine] and produced the picture, is virtually flawless.
		The independent company [Individual Productions] was formed by Gilliat and Launder when these two experienced scriptwriters got tired of working for a salary and threw up their jobs with Gainsborough.

	Green for Danger Film Review - Time Out Film
		Two murders in a cottage hospital leave the surgeon, the anaesthetist and three attendant nurses as major suspects.
		But this is no ordinary country house whodunit; Launder and Gilliat's long experience as scriptwriters enables them to undermine the conventions to macabrely humorous effect.
		Amid the unpredictable explosions of World War II 'doodlebugs', Sim's eccentrically fallible detective rakes over the dirty secrets of his guilt-ridden suspects and leads us carefully up the garden path.

		Where this is all leading is entirely unexpected--Christie and Gilliat really have us falling without a parachute for a while--yet it's exciting and tragic all at once.
		Writer/director Sidney Gilliat, who worked with Hitchcock on THE LADY VANISHES and also made the wonderful GREEN FOR DANGER, was obviously influenced by the Master in his approach to it.

	Alfred Hitchcock's The Lady Vanishes
		I recently (re)screened a print of Carol Reed's Night Train to Munich (1940), which was scripted by the team of Frank Launder and Sidney Gilliat, whose wonderful adaptation of Ethel Lina White's The Wheel Spins became Hitchcock's The Lady Vanishes, the most successful of the director's films made in England.
		There are many similarities between these two works, and one of the delightful surprises of Night Train to Munich is the appearance of Caldicott and Charters, with Naunton Wayne and Basil Radford reprising their roles from Hitchcock’s film.
		Here find themselves in a sticky railway situation in Night Train To Munich, which was also scripted by Launder and Gilliat.

		Directed and produced by Sidney Gilliat and Frank Launder, the British mystery-comedy Green for Danger is a rare treat.
