The Frog (film)

The Frog is a 1937 British crime film directed by Jack Raymond and starring Gordon Harker, Noah Beery, Jack Hawkins and Carol Goodner.

It was based on the 1925 novel The Fellowship of the Frog by Edgar Wallace, and the 1936 play version by Ian Hay.

He admitted that "it has an old-world charm" but complained that the "well-mannered dialogue drones on".

[3] Britmovie called it a "routine thriller",[4] while British Pictures observed that the film "suffers through being an adaptation of a theatre adaptation (by Ian Hay) of the original novel.

Some of the exposition is clunky and at times confusing; and the direction needed someone like Walter Forde to make the most of it.
