El detective (1954)
Adaptación del relato de Chesterton "La cruz azul" (incluido en "El candor del Padre Brown"). El padre Brown (Alec Guinness), un sagaz y excéntrico párroco muy aficionado a desentrañar casos detectivescos, pierde una preciada cruz medieval que debía llevar de Londres a Roma. El autor del robo es el conocido ladrón de obras de arte Gustave Flambeau (Peter Finch), un experto en disfraces al que el perspicaz sacerdote intenta atrapar no sólo para recuperar la cruz, sino también para salvar su alma.
