LOST
(Rank-Sydney Box) Y Cert, | IKE The Long Arm (Listener, 22.3.57), Lost is in its way a quasi-document-ary tribute to the British plain-clothes man-a documentary with nobs on, you might say, the nobs in this case being a U.S. Embassy official and his Austrian wife (she’s in haute couture), whose infant child is stolen from outside a chemist’s shop while nanny is inside buying gripe-water, I had some difficulty in establishing a sympathetic rapport with the part-time mother, and no doubt was not helped by the, contrast explicitly drawn between the parents’ misdirected efforts to find their child, and the unspectacular but telling methods of the plain-clothes men, Not so smooth a production job as The Long Arm, but (perversely, perhaps) I liked it a little better. Anyway, I thought David Farrar a more genuine-seeming dick then Jack Hawkins. Guy Green directed.
