Green for Danger is a 1946 British thriller film, based on the 1944 detective novel of the same name by Christianna Brand. It was directed by Sidney Gilliat and stars Alastair Sim, Trevor Howard, Sally Gray and Rosamund John. The film was shot at Pinewood Studios in England. The title is a reference to the colour-coding used on the gas canisters used by anaesthetists.At Heron's Park Hospital, the operating theatre staff face not only the horrors of World War II but also their own personal dramas. Amidst the chaos, tensions rise as jealousies, rivalries, and unrequited loves simmer within the hospital. When a courageous nurse bravely announces that a recent death in the operating theatre was, in fact, a murder, her life takes a sinister turn. Enter Inspector Cockrill, an unconventional detective from Scotland Yard, who arrives at the hospital to investigate the suspicious death. As he delves deeper into the case, he encounters a complex network of bitter cross-currents among the hospital staff, each with their own motives and secrets. | |

Gas Chamber | |
| Green for Danger / int_1d6fa62a | comment |
Gas Chamber: After Linley mentions having an idea about the murders, the others advise her to wait until she can talk to Cockrill about it. She goes to bed and someone puts a shilling in the coin-operated gas meter without lighting the gas fire in her room. Before she is killed by the carbon monoxide in the coal gas, Sanson smells the gas, calls out, and breaks the window. | |

Obfuscating Postmortem Wounds | |
| Green for Danger / int_253c1204 | comment |
Obfuscating Postmortem Wounds: Esther Sanson catches Sister Bates with Sanson's paint-stained surgical gown which will prove she murdered Higgins and murders Bates. Realising that someone else is approaching and that she does not have to hide or destroy the gown, Sanson cuts out the incriminating stain and then dresses Bates in the gown and knife carefully stabs the knife through the hole and into Bates' body to disguise the missing piece of fabric. | |

Medication Tampering | |
| Green for Danger / int_30725d31 | comment |
Medication Tampering: The murderer paints a green cylinder of carbon dioxide to disguise it as a black-and-white cylinder of oxygen, so that when the anaesthetist Dr. Barnes administers oxygen to bring the patient round, he is actually giving them pure carbon dioxide, causing them to asphyxiate. | |

| Green for Danger / int_3ac2a3e3 | comment |
Deadly Gas: Higgins is murdered on the operating table, and the murderer later tries to to do the same to Freddi Linley. In both cases the method is the same: disguising a cylinder of carbon dioxide as a cylinder of oxygen, so that when the anaesthetist Dr. Barnes administers oxygen to bring the patient round, he is actually giving them pure carbon dioxide, causing them to asphyxiate. | |

The Casanova | |
| Green for Danger / int_5e2e55e4 | comment |
The Casanova: Surgeon Mr. Eden. He has a reputation as a womaniser; has had a relationship with Sister Bates in the past (and she is still pining for him); is currently putting the moves on Freddi Linley, despite her being engaged to Dr. Barnes; and Nurse Woods pointedly warns him that things are different in the hospital and won't be like they were in his private practice before the war, with female patients coming to him with "fluttering eyelashes and bosoms". | |

Chekhov's Classroom: When introduced, Dr. White is giving a lecture to the doctors about the new efficiency measures he has introduced since taking over as hospital administrator, including repainting the bins marked 'WASTE' to say 'SALVAGE'. This is an Establishing Character Moment, but later becomes significant because it explains where the murderer got the paint they used to disguise the carbon dioxide cylinder as an oxygen cylinder. | |

Deadly Doctor: The murderer has to be one of the medical personnel present in the operating theatre when Higgins died. When the killer confronts Sister Bates in the empty operating theatre, they are dressed in a full set of surgical scrubs including cap, mask and gloves: completely obscuring their identity and even their sex.
