Someone at the Door is a 1950 British second feature ('B')[2] crime comedy film directed by Francis Searle and starring Michael Medwin, Garry Marsh and Yvonne Owen.
[3][4] It was written by A. R. Rawlinson based on the West End play of the same name by Campbell Christie and his wife Dorothy, which had previously been turned into a film in 1936.
[5][6] A journalist comes up with a scheme to boost his career by inventing a fake murder but soon becomes embroiled in trouble when a real killing takes place.
The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "Comedy thriller in which sliding panels, priest-holes, ex-convicts and priceless jewels are used to conventional effect.
However, there is one good wheeze, during the credit sequence, when director Francis Searle reveals that the front of the old house is merely a flat piece of scenery erected in a field.
