Leslie Banks brought a commanding, often menacing presence to British and Hollywood cinema and memorably terrified audiences as a sadistic big-game hunter in The Most Dangerous Game. Henry V rallies outnumbered troops to victory, Went the Day Well? finds Germans disguised as billeted soldiers in an English village, Cottage to Let makes a Scottish cottage the centre of an espionage plot, and Madeleine puts a Victorian woman on trial for poisoning. The Man Who Knew Too Much rounds out the list.
