''23 Paces to Baker Street'' is a 1956 American drama film released by 20th Century Fox. It stars Van Johnson and Vera Miles. The Hitchcockian mystery thriller, filmed in Cinemascope on location in London, focuses on Philip Hannon, a blind playwright who overhears a partial conversation he believes is related to the planning of a kidnapping. When the authorities fail to take action because they believe his story is the product of a writer's fertile imagination, Hannon searches for the child with the help of his butler and fiancée, using his acute sense of hearing to gather evidence and serve as guidance. The plotline of the film bears some resemblance to Hitchcock's ''Rear Window'' of 1954, which also features a disabled protagonist witnessing a crime, which the police refuse to take seriously, therefore placing him in danger and culminating in a final standoff with the killer in the protagonist's apartment. Nigel Balchin's screenplay, based on a novel by Philip MacDonald, was directed by Henry Hathaway. ==Cast== * Van Johnson as Phillip Hannon * Vera Miles as Jean Lennox * Cecil Parker as Bob Matthews * Maurice Denham as Inspector Grovening * Isobel Elsom as Lady Syrett * Estelle Winwood as Barmaid * Liam Redmond as Mr. Murch * Martin Benson as Pillings * Natalie Norwick as Janet Murch * Terence De Marney as Sergeant Luce *Patricia Laffan as "Mr. Evans"/Miss Alice MacDonald 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「23 Paces to Baker Street」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
