Lady in the Fog

Lady in the Fog (U.S. title: Scotland Yard Inspector) is a 1952 British mystery film directed by Sam Newfield and starring Cesar Romero, Lois Maxwell and Bernadette O'Farrell.

[3] In London an English woman, Heather McMara, asks for help from a visiting American writer, Philip 'Phil' O'Dell, to find out who has killed her brother, Danny, who was run over in heavy nighttime fog.

However, a speeding car tries to run O'Dell down, and he finds his own quarters ransacked, leading him to conclude he is onto something and he cancels his plans to leave London for the United States.

O'Dell listens to the wire recording of a distraught man recounting a garage fire he was forced to set in Gladstone which killed someone called George.

O'Dell returns to Hampden who stonewalls him, but mentions that Sorrowby cracked up during the war and was in a mental hospital at the time he died, two years ago.

The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "Routine mystery with Cesar Romero somewhat miscast as the reporter and some unconvincingly Americanised English settings.
