Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was part of the 'Scotland Yard' film series, cheaply produced for British cinemas as supporting features—thirty minutes of true crime before your main attraction.
Ken Hughes would later direct 'The Trials of Oscar Wilde' and 'Chitty Chitty Bang Bang'; this early gig shows his knack for squeezing maximum unease from minimal resources.
