- Have you caught anything?

- New eels.

Oh! That's a night fish.

You've been out in a ketch.

Not like me

- fishing to keep away from the old woman.

- Where do we change?

- The beach.

- And then London?

- Yes.

There I shall go to see

a friend of my family.

He fled to England last

September. He'll help us.

He's living at a place called

Hampstead. You've heard of it?

Yes. Karl, if you only knew

how glad I am to be back here...

where people can still laugh and be happy.

Come away, Alfie. If you're not falling

in something, you're dragging in something.

Go on.

- Good evening.

- Uh, good evening.

- I should like to see Dr. Fredericks.

- Have you an appointment?

No, but, uh, if you would give him

my name. It is Marsen. Karl Marsen.

- Well, will you come in, please?

- Thank you.

Now, if you will take this

to Gilby's, the opticians.

They're just around the corner.

If you mention my name, they will make up

your little girl's glasses at a reduced charge.

Thank you, Doctor.

And don't worry. With care,

she will grow out of it.

- Thank you, Doctor. Good night.

- Good night.

There's a gentleman to see

you, Doctor, a Mr. Marsen.

Marsen?

Oh, very well. Show him in.

- The doctor will see you now.

- Thank you.

Good luck.

Mr. Marsen.

- Good evening.

- How do you do, Doctor?

I was given your name. I'm suffering from

an, uh, eyestrain and should like a test.

- Headaches and so forth?

- Hmm, yes.

If you will be good enough

to sit in this chair, please?

Thank you.

- Warm this evening, isn't it?

- Rather.

I hear there may be a storm brewing.

Now, will you read the top line, please?

K, M, S...

Q, R, Y.

And now the line underneath.

M, O, 2...

6, 7, 3, G.

I don't think that is quite

right. Will you repeat it, please?

M, O, 2...

6, 7, 3, G.

Heil Hitler.

Heil Hitler.

Well?

I have to report that on instructions

from Gestapo headquarters...

I successfully made contact

with the woman Bomasch...

in Concentration Camp Number

Four, Reichsprotektorat of Bohemia.

I escaped with her, as

arranged, on the 27 th ofJuly...

and came ashore this morning at

11:
15, from the freighter Stovendam.

We are staying at an apartment house...

at 124 Paddington Lane, Marylebone.

Good. She has, of course, made

no attempt to locate her father.

No. I am awaiting your instructions.

This is all we know.

Bomasch is working for the British

admiralty. Where, we have no idea.

He is certainly well hidden and well guarded.

- Therefore, we must move cautiously.

- Understood, sir.

So do not appear too eager.

Impress upon her that you are

aliens and must move carefully.

Suggest that she places an

advertisement to this effect...

Sidney Gilliat

Sidney Gilliat (15 February 1908 – 31 May 1994) was an English film director, producer and writer. He was the son of George Gilliat, editor of the Evening Standard, born in the district of Edgeley in Stockport, Cheshire. In the 1930s he worked as a scriptwriter, most notably with Frank Launder on The Lady Vanishes (1938) for Alfred Hitchcock, and its sequel Night Train to Munich (1940), directed by Carol Reed. He and Launder made their directorial debut co-directing the home front drama Millions Like Us (1943). From 1945 he also worked as a producer, starting with The Rake's Progress, which he also wrote and directed. He and Launder made over 40 films together, founding their own production company Individual Pictures. While Launder concentrated on directing their comedies, most famously the four St Trinian's School films, Gilliat showed a preference for comedy-thrillers and dramas, including Green for Danger (1946), London Belongs to Me (1948) and State Secret (1950). He wrote the libretto for Malcolm Williamson's opera Our Man in Havana, based on the novel by Graham Greene. He had also worked on the film. more…
