Plot

A father tries to save his son from execution.

Sinekatalog’s take

Joseph Losey's thriller has a father with only hours to prove his son innocent of murder before execution. Michael Redgrave is feverish and the film's frantic energy and twisty plot make a tense, stylish British noir.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
