Midnight Episode is a 1950 British thriller mystery film directed by Gordon Parry and starring Stanley Holloway, Leslie Dwyer, Reginald Tate and Meredith Edwards.

[2][3] The screenplay was by Paul Vincent Carroll, David Evans and William Templeton from an adaptation by Rita Barisse and Reeve Tyler of the 1938 novel Monsieur La Souris by Georges Simenon.

[citation needed] An indigent street performer of Shakesperian verse chances upon a wallet filled with money and private papers.

A value for them its retrieval makes imperative, and, for the seemingly- fortunate finder, its longed-for riches only involve him in their violent world, and in more trouble than he ever knew, as a poorer man.

Stanley Holloway, although occasionally achieving a comic moment, misses the character that Raimu found in the part; the rest of the cast is second-rate.
