Warn London is a 1934 British thriller film directed by T. Hayes Hunter and starring Edmund Gwenn, John Loder and Leonora Corbett. [1] [2] It was written by Charles Bennett and Billie Bristow based on a novel by Denison Clift.
A detective goes undercover to infiltrate a gang planning a bullion robbery.
The Daily Film Renter wrote: "Narrative somewhat on blood and thunder lines, but introducing those elements that should appeal to the mass of kinemagoers. Interesting portrayal by Edmund Gwenn as old criminologist turned crook, and John Loder effective as the detective. Story moves well to denouement that will surprise many patrons. Just the stuff for the popular audience." [3]
Picturegoer wrote: "Incredible and artificial mystery thriller, in which Edmund Gwenn struggles none too successfully to make the role of a German criminologist. ... John Loder is quite good in the dual role of detective and his assailant, but Leonora Corbett is weak as the heroine. D. A. Clarke Smith's performance as the chief crook is extremely good and Gary Marsh is sound as his assistant." [4]
