...person is to blame for this singularly unfortunate situation. Rather, it seems to represent an uncertainty of policy, policy which originated some time ago, as to just what this department is trying to accomplish. The ideal solution is of course the perfect combination of good teacher and good research man. It is a little hard on the keen and hard-working student to have to hold the test-tube in which the Administration is trying to shake up this perfect solution. The experiment must produce results soon, or the complete disintegration of this field, which at present is no more...
...local politicians. If their bravado proves to be nothing more than that, then the wiser leaders will regain control, provided with an effective radical-silencer. But if these Porto Rican lago's persuade the populace to vote "yes" on the independence referendum, they will have only themselves to blame for the disastrous results that are bound to follow.

It takes the best efforts of Lady Dearden, her astute confidant (Roland Young) and the head of Scotland Yard (Lewis Stone) to extricate him, put the blame where it belongs. For a melodrama containing two violent deaths, The Unguarded Hour is chiefly remarkable for an inappropriate placidity which Franchot Tone's yawnings, head scratchings and frowns to denote the weight of great affairs do little to dispel. Best shot: Roland Young christening a baby...
