The Amazing Mr. Forrest

Hitchcock went to Hollywood instead of doing this. Result is more a hack job than the special Jack Buchanan attraction this looks on paper. With that said, this is a entertaining one. What makes it stand-out is the number of Hollywood imports. They brought over is villain Jack La Rue, B-movie slickster Otto Kruger and A-list comic relief Edward Everett Horton. And Horton was put to good use here as Buchanan's valet/assistant. I would say Horton actually steals this from the local British star.
