Part of “The British Film” collection
Sir Richard Attenborough portrays an innocent man on trial for his life in this compelling, sympathetic courtroom drama based on a true case. Directed by Lance Comfort – an under-appreciated British talent whose prolific career encompassed wartime biopic Penn of Pennsylvania and accomplished melodrama Hatter’s Castle. EIGHT O’CLOCK WALK (PG) is presented here in a brand-new transfer from the original film elements in its as-exhibited cinema aspect ratio on DVD from 4 November, RRP £9.99, courtesy of Network Distributing.
EIGHT O’CLOCK WALK also features strong support from film noir heroine Cathy O’Donnell (Ben-Hur) and character actor Maurice Denham (The Day of the Jackal).
Taxi driver Tom Manning is wrongly accused of the murder of an eight-year-old girl on a London bombsite. Jill, his fiercely loyal young wife, wins the active sympathy of Peter Tanner, Junior Counsel for the Defence. Against heavy odds, Peter proves a barrister of great ability and resource, but can he save Peter from the gallows?
