- Synopsis:
Enjoy this great double bill of classic 1950s British crime thrillers from Corsair Pictures, both scripted by acclaimed screenwriter Brock Williams (Candlelight in Algeria, Rag Doll). Unseen since they were first screened, these lost gems of British cinema have now been rediscovered and digitally restored and remastered.
The Harassed Hero (1954)Poor Mr. Murray Selwyn (Guy Middleton)! He's suffering from 'Acute Apprehension Complex' and his doctors have strongly recommended that he avoid any stress or excitement in his life. Unfortunately - thanks to a chance encounter in a London taxi cab - he now finds himself at the very centre of an explosive international criminal caper and his life is filled with suitcases full of hot money, desperate gunmen and vanishing bodies! More dangerous still, he's been cared for by the rather ravishing Nurse Brook (Joan Winmill Brown) - a girl guaranteed to stimulate any red-blooded English gentleman! How much excitement can one man take?
The Night Won't Talk (1952)
When a beautiful young artist's model is strangled in her bed, Scotland Yard find themselves with three suspects - her sinister ex-husband (Elwyn Brook-Jones), a sexually disturbed artist (Ballard Berkeley) and her violent new boyfriend (John Bailey), who is prone to unexplained blackouts.
