The whole thing moves at a cracking pace, and the supporting cast includes Terry-Thomas, Raymond Huntley, Dora Bryan and Arthur Lowe. One of the many highlights has Sim chatting up an aging female string trio while attempting to plant a bomb in the lounge of the eponymous Green Man. Sim was originally going to direct the film as well, but eventually handed the baton over to Robert Day. < less
