Eight O'Clock Walk (UK-import)
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 also features strong support from film noir heroine Cathy O'Donnell and character actor Maurice Denham. The film is presented here in a brand-new transfer from original film elements in its as-exhibited theatrical aspect ratio. 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 Tom from the gallows?
