Saloon Bar is a 1940 British comedy thriller film directed by Walter Forde and starring Gordon Harker, Elizabeth Allan and Mervyn Johns.[1] It was made by Ealing Studios and its style has led to comparisons with the later Ealing Comedies, unlike other wartime Ealing films which are different in tone.[2] It is based on the 1939 play of the same name by Frank Harvey in which Harker had also starred.[3] An amateur detective tries to clear an innocent man of a crime before the date of his execution.
