Thriller Edgar Wallace Presents: Crossroads to Crime (PG) was Gerry Anderson’s (Thunderbirds) directorial film debut in 1960 and features the talents of several of his subsequent Supermarionation collaborators, including voice artists George Murcell (Z Cars, Cutthroat Island) and David Graham (Doctor Who, Thunderbirds). Released for the first time, the film is presented in a brand-new transfer from the original film elements and will be available on DVD form 19 August, RRP £9.99, courtesy of Network Distributing.

PC Don Ross suspects that a gang of lorry hijackers, operating from a transport café, is behind a series of vehicle thefts. When his suspicions are dismissed by his superiors, Ross decides to conduct his own undercover investigation, and sets out to collect vital evidence that could convict the gang.

Edgar Wallace Presents: Crossroads to Crime for Anglo-Amalgamated was the only feature-length film to be made by AP Films, co-founded by the legendary puppet pioneer in 1957.
