5.0 out of 5 stars Detective work with suspense, danger, and romance
Reviewed in the United States on July 5, 2016

This movie gets better and better as it goes along.

A well-to-do, blind man (Van Johnson) overhears a plot to kidnap a child. He and his butler set out to discover the identity of the kidnapper, and work to prevent the kidnapping. Will he solve the clues? Will he be in time? How will he do this with his blindness?

It is interesting how this determined blind man goes about accomplishing things, which would be difficult for a sighted person. The title of the movie refers to the 23-paces the blind man has counted that it takes him to reach the pub from his apartment.

Shot on location in London (The department store is Barkers of Kensington, which closed in 2006). Vera Miles looks like Grace Kelly in this. She provides an element of friendship and possible romance.

The movie does not tell you that Van Johnson's character is blind until 15-minutes into the film, and it is not obvious before then. Van Johnson seems slow, and his vacant stare is mistaken for bitterness rather than blindness. You are much better-off knowing he is blind from the outset; otherwise, the first 15-minutes of the film is painfully boring.

4.0 out of 5 stars Blind author takes on kidnappers
Reviewed in the United States on October 18, 2014

A very enjoyable suspense story only slightly dated. Van Johnson plays a blind author who overhears plans for a kidnapping and tries to investigate himself. There are several scenes where his blindness is either a blessing (he notices and hears things others miss) or a curse (he's led into a very dangerous situation because he cannot see it). The final confrontation is still well done and suspenseful no matter how many times I've seen it. Vera Miles does a good job as his would be girlfriend and I love Cecil Parker's manservent. The title doesn't really have much, if anything, to do with the plot. The original story was written by Philip MacDonald who also wrote "The List of Adrian Messenger" which was also made into a good movie.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thrill and good taste.

At last on Blu-ray! There is a DVD version, a stereo audio DVD, with a much improved viewing and NOW this marvel on BD! It's region A, so I bought a multi region BD to be able to watch it here in Europe. I'll watch it every night for at least a month. This is not just a movie, it's an experience! Of what? Of LIFE! A world in itself, a blend of British and America US, a tender love story, an example of refined manners and exeptional good taste.Van Johnson's skill in playing the blind writer - able to perceive and understand what everybody around him can't, along with his looks suggesting fear, frustration, disappointment but also hope - is unsurpassed.The well-constructed plot is wrapped in the 50s London, a pub, cold foggy nights, badly lit street corners, all in sharp contrast with the warm and comfortably well furnished apartment, a character in itself, where V. Johnson, V. Miles, C. Parker together face and unravel a thrilling puzzle.

5.0 out of 5 stars 23 Paces to Baker Street (Kino Lorber Blu-ray)
Reviewed in the United States on December 4, 2017
Verified Purchase
Pretty good mid 50's mystery. While residing in London an American blind writer overhears a garbled conversation that implies a crime in planning. While the British cops don't take him very seriously his assistant and his former fiancé set out to help him find out what's going on before it happens. Good performances from all and Cecil Parker as the assistant is at times amusing. I have seen both the 20th Century Fox Cinema Archives DVD-R and the Kino Lorber Blu-ray. The Kino Lorber is the one to get. The picture and overall quality is infinitely better. Highly recommended.

This Blu-ray looks so beautiful it's a miracle. I'll never know how they were able to restore this to such brilliance. And this is a movie you want to watch over and over because it's so well put together. Quite a surprising outcome.

I like this film. A lot of people toss it off. I find it a very good film overall. Van Johnson does a very good job in portraying a man trying to right a possible wrong. He realizes he has to do it alone. I have this in my collection.

This is a good movie. Ignore all the overly critical from so-called online movie critics. In colour, widescreen,
great actors from the ‘50’s. Something like ‘Rear Window’, and preceding ‘Wait Until Dark’. Came in good time and in fine condition.
