Hello Members, This is my first post, so hello there!

I feel certain somebody at this site knows the details of a film I saw years ago and am now trying to trace.

Title: A Question of Who (as I recall). I think Alistair Sims played the lead--but I could be wrong. Maybe not Sims.

It was a film about an expert with the World Health Organization. He worked in a musty office in London (with tea pots and cups, etc.). From this office he carried on a World Wide hunt for a missing bacteria or virus.

If anybody can confirm the title and perhaps give a bit of info about how to locate the film, I will be very grateful. thanks

It was Terry-Thomas, not Alastair Sim

I saw this film too, when it was first released. Terry Thomas is great with his trusty umbrella!

It's been mentioned on these forums before, in the past 8 months... if you search for the thread there might be some info. on how to locate a copy.
