Odd little wartime thriller from Republic, in which a young woman (Mary McLeod), bombed out of her home in London, gets a room in the building where a tobacconist (John Abbott) lives and has his shop. This tobacconist, however kindly he may seem, has a secret: on some nights of air raids, he stalks and kills with a poison via a syringe hidden in his pipe.

  Recommended. Otto finds this one pleasing enough to relax.

Movie 156 for 2021.
