Hornleigh Takes On Nazis Spies, 14 November 2007
9/10
Author: nova-63 from Canada

Like the other films in the Hornleigh series this is breezy with a nice touch of humor. The plot has Hornleigh working for the British army to find out who has been pilfering army supplies. He finds this work beneath his talents and is glad to shift his interest to a case involving the radio transmission of messages by German spies in England. The radio transmission is sent from a different location each time and Hornleigh digs to finds out how they are doing it and who is behind it.

The joy of the film is the teaming of Harker and Sim. A first rate team from British film history.
