The Green Man is a 1956 black and white British black comedy film based on the play Meet a Body by Frank Launder and Sidney Gilliat, who produced and adapted the big-screen version.[1][2]
A very silly but enormously entertaining farce that dutifully ticks all the genre's expected boxes (mistaken identities, compromising positions, much panicking and slamming of doors), The Green Man (d. Robert Day, 1956) was based on the play Meet A Body by Frank Launder and Sidney Gilliat, who produced and adapted this big-screen version.

The Green Man (1956) A wonderfully entertaining and beautifully acted farce that encompasses all the genre's typical requirements (innocent yet compromising positions, confusion of identities, door slamming, panic and yet more panic). The Green Man is based on the play "Meet A Body" by Frank Launder and Sidney Gilliat, who also produced and adapted this film version. Although Alastair nominally plays the villain we cannot help but sympathise with mild-mannered clockmaker and part-time professional assassin Harry Hawkins as he attempts to rid the world of pompous frauds, be they headmasters, dictators or, as in his current assignment, elected politicians.

It is a most beautiful plant. Saarinen of Birmingham, Mich., was the architect. He made the buildings simple and functional, largely of glass but used brick at the ends of red, purple and green buildings, giving tremendous color to what might otherwise have been monotonous.
