so does Hannay get that milkman killed early in the film?


When he asks to borrow his clothes and take the car round the corner? When the milkman leaves the flat, wont they assume he's Hannay and kill him?

I suppose the only thing that could save the milkman is that the spies were probably aware that Hannay wears a moustache and they are familiar with his features. They're not going to look too hard at a milkman leaving the building. But they're going to make sure they get the right man when anybody else leaves.

No, the milkman was okay, and made himself an easy quid.
