Edmund Gwenn In Another Great Performance

The Bishop of Broadminster (Edmund Gwenn) is a fan of mystery novels. When he and his sister stumble across a robbery in progress at a pub, he is excited at the opportunity to test his sleuthing skills.

The "gang" he confronts is a loosely-connected composite with disparate motives. As the Bishop searches for clues and proposes various theories, things get complicated. This is a very British comedy and it is delightful.

Maureen O'Sullivan stars as Hester, the young lady who seeks to right a wrong, but gets in over her head.

Hester: And let you do it alone? That wouldn't be cricket.
Donald: Whaddya mean, "cricket"?
Hester: Wouldn't be sporting.
Donald: So you disclose your identity, stick your head behind prison bars just to make it cricket and sporting? You English give me a pain in the ear.
'Red': Hey, what's the matter with England, I'd like to know.
Donald: Nothing, it's the people that live in it.
'Red': Ehh.
Lady Emily: England's an acquired taste, but it's very pleasant.
Donald: Well, I only said -...
'Red': Well, England's good enough for me!
'Frenchy': You foreigners don't have to come over here, you know!
