The Green Man

Alastair Sim shines in this British dark comedy, playing Harry Hawkins, a meek watch repairman who moonlights as an assassin-for-hire, happily bumping off society's most annoying people. Hawkins’ latest job--eliminating an insufferable politician at a seaside hotel--hits a snag when he constantly winds up in the company of a bumbling vacuum cleaner salesman (George Cole). With Jill Adams, Raymond Huntley, Terry-Thomas. 80 min. Standard; Soundtrack: English.
