The Man in the Road

Cold War spy thriller with a stale storyline about communist agents trying to prise a secret formula from a brilliant amnesiac scientist (young writer Ella Raines to the rescue). Guy Morgan, who adapted the script from a popular novel of the day (Anthony Armstrong's He Was Found in the Road), was a former secretary of the British Screenwriters' Association and habitually complained about the lack of recognition screenwriters received. He protested too much, perhaps.
