in 'CROOKS' TOUR'
An adventure in six parts by Frank Launder and Sidney Gilliat from the original story by John Watt and Max Kester
Music by Kenneth Leslie-Smith
Lyrics by Max Kester
Part 3-' Crime marches on! ' Cast in order of speaking
Hugo Rignold and his Orchestra
Production by Vernon Harris
Here is the third instalment of this thrilling serial which is notable for two facts: Naunton Wayne and Basil Radford play the parts of the two Englishmen who are always interested in cricket though their skins are in danger-parts they created in the successful film The Lady Vanishes and have reproduced in one recently shot-Gestapo. The other notable fact is that the radio script has been written by Frank Launder and Sidney Gilliat , who wrote the scripts of both the* above films.
In this instalment we shall hear our heroes flying from Constantinople to Budapest, where they get involved in further complications. We shall meet ' La Palermo ' played by Greta Gynt , and be thrilled to the end.
