The Green Man

on BBC Two England

The feature film starring
Alastair Sim , George Cole and Terry-Thomas Hawkins is an assassin. An amiable seeming man, but still a hired killer who began his trade by bumping off a hated head teacher. His latest project is Sir Gregory Upshott , but he finds his attempts foiled by a bumbling vacuum-cleaner salesman. This lively comedy features a characteristically brilliant performance by Alastair Sim , aided and abetted by a fine cast of British character actors.
Written and produced by SIDNEY GILLIAT and FRANK LAUNDER. Directed by ROBERT DAY Films: page 14
