Quiz
Alexander Korda thought the film was dreadful and would only be given a limited country release with no London showing, but another film failed and Korda's company was approached for a replacement. 'Nightbeat' was all that they could offer but at the press show the critics thought it was awful and the only good thing was the performance of Michael Medwin.

Felix Fenton: That's no good to you...
Andy Kendall: You're talking from the wrong end!
Felix Fenton: Dont be a fool - if you kill me, it's murder. If I kill you, I've got to make it out in triplicate. I hate writing.

7/10

Entertaining British thriller from the 40's.

In many ways this film is a clear attempt, by a British studio, to emulate the successful film noirs prevalent in the USA. To a great degree it achieves that objective, mainly through the lively cameo performances from Christine Norden, Maxwell Reed and Sidney James. The scenes containing those characters are among the best in the film. The story is lively-paced and passes the time quickly. However, where the film falls down is in its poor editing, and the lacklustre performances of the two leading males. In particular, Hector Ross displays about as much animation and personality as a glove puppet. His performance has to be seen to be believed. Overall though Nightbeat is an entertaining film.
