Phenomenal. Only the Brits can do it!!!! Bravo. Thanks for the download. I may have to see it again to get the full details in the last 5 mins. The movie is packed.
Oh what a tangled web we weave. A good little movie, well worth watching. The coroner utterly out of control at the hearing. An England sadly with us no more...what a state of moral decay the country is now in!
Excellent well-crafted whodunnit in which two women are trapped by circumstances. The drama is made even more intense by the claustrophobic and hostile environment of the Coroner's Court. This is one of those rare occasions where a play made into film works well despite the constraints of the settings because the style and form actually fit the narrative. Coroner's Courts are often depicted in 30's detective fiction as places where power-play and personality obstruct the truth and this is no exception. The Shakespearean bear pit of the local audience and representatives of the national press makes for a lurid backdrop of comic relief, which further emphasises the fact that lives are at stake here, as the death penalty was in force during this era. Thanks for posting this gem!
Pavlovafowl - Organic Forest Garden Poultry .....in reply. Very well written narrative. You language skills a very good... should be a playwright. Well done! Cheers.
I love the editing faux pas at 17.15 where the camera is supposed to cut to a bar full of noisy people. It cuts just about half a second too early, before they get the nod to start being noisy! Quaint!
17:14 At the start of the pub crowd scene, there's a split second where the entire crowd is frozen - no one moves or speaks. Then, perhaps at some off-camera signal, they suddenly swing into animated conversation.
Movie was good, BUT the English & Legal terminology kept me googling for the meaning.👍👏👏 Overall the movie was very good all along 👌 But a little abrupt at the end.👍👍👏👏👏
A few interesting points. The one lawyer called a little man. The court witness had to kiss the book, who cleans it. Remember the public phones in the day who cleaned those....
One killed another disguised and buried someone else or his victim N as such and while living as an assumed identity, he committed another murder and the one dead sanatorium was the real one who had nothing to do with except his stolen identity but the wife was hiding her husband's identity not to get trouble with the law which BOTH young lady n the old lady were protecting their husbands' names (!!) means reputation for them, wives as well. So, the young lady was hiding her husband who eventually was dead in another man's name! A few twisted here n there will confuse the hell out of most of the people esp inquest judge who though he was in full control but beaten beyond his wildest imagination by very shorty with a much taller brain than the inquest judge, LOL, goes to tell U height is useless but tell that to the most woman who cares SO MUCH about outer appearance with born their nature! Overall, GIVE BIG kudos and thanks to the script writer's imagination wonder brain (!), and the shorty man judge actor's brilliant oral gift acting, which set the tone of the movie industry realized shorter, much shorter man can be useful quite a lot more ways than one or movies, certain motives can capture a big audience' a big interest means sells well n means brings a big money to box offices in certain movies, like later in Wild Wild West Dr. Lovess who was a normal person but medical disease deprived of his growth of height, but because of that disease ALSO made him a famous actor. One disaster brings' another blessing sometimes like someone try to hurt U ended up helping him or her, in the long run, turned out! USA

An early work of the Boulting Brothers, but it has all the usual faults of other hastily arranged British programme "fillers". There's an unnecessarily confusing plot, which is strange given that it's from a stage play. Some bits don't make sense: for instance, you have to believe that an examining doctor would miss a bullet hole and there'd be no blood, or that the gun used in a killing would be left in the house, or that you can rush down to any public library and find specialist medical books on arsenic poisoning. Worse than that there's very little engagement with the characters including the woman at the centre of the case - you don't really care about them or what happens to them.
In the late 1800's through the turn of the first 30 years of the 20th Century many poisons were commonly used in home remedies for medicinal purposes. And you could find the formulas in Medical Recipes at your local Pharmacy/ Druggist Or Public Libraries. Arsenic was used regularly in tonics and creams as an anti- aging serum. Lead was a known cure for heartburn in the latter 1700's. Radium was used for pain relief and tumor shrinkage. There's a whole Lotta purposes for Cyanide which is in all seed producing plants. Poisons and toxins are used in many remedies today. Even Ethelyne Glycol when done up right is used as a Laxative, a food preservative, it's in beauty products like makeup and body lotions. However, its also extreamly and highly toxic when used as an antifreeze for automobiles in the form of Ethelene Glychol.

OUT OF THIS WORLD!!! I love-d the passion and zealousness of the defendant's lawyer. What a talented, accomplished lawyer! Thank you for this GEM!!!

Nothing like a good old British film. I'd like him as my attorney, he's a beast!
That actor playing the lawyer reminded me of Claude Rains!
Lots of twists and turns, thank you.
That was very good. Kept my attention throughout.

Well written, your description of this gem is unsurpassed. I enjoyed reading, you should be on TCM
Well said.
Who cares?? it's some limey flick.
I love these old time films, so simplified
this movie is awesome! a must-see for every vintage film fan 🎥🥂
It's enough to make Maigraiet's pipe curl. Lovely old fashioned pub.

"Do you mean to tell me that John Burgoyne was Thomas Hamilton?" That was the first I'd heard of either of them. I should pay more attention.
Apparently. They started discussing Tom Hamilton about 2 minutes in, and referred to him frequently.
Your channel is much appriciated.
Wow, this was very suspenseful, and quite a mystery.
Loved every minute of it.
Wife , mom -in-law all involved were very good Kiera!
Always glad to 👀a fine clear print 😀
Excellent flick thank you 🎬🎭
How wonderfully civilized and Terribly English is the sport of Cricket on the village green.
Cricket always reminds me of Nigel Bruce and Sir C.Aubrey Smith!

Kell, Even the dogs were frozen at the start.
Good observation!
@@markcoveryourassets who cares? Didn't spoil the movie.
Splendid!
The Coroner should be a stoker on the Queen Mary ! LOL
Great Stuff!

All done for effect!
The cause of death, "A bullet lodged in the base of the spine." "Then it's murder? Or suicide?" That would have been very awkward to do to ones self!
Ooooooh.... good one !!
Very good.
Positively Perry Mason!

No one thought of those things
@@kathyh4804 definitley not - "germs" were just part of life, and muddy play and taking risks, when I grew up in 50's London! I love these old films!
My thoughts exactly!
🤔
Great
Wow! so intense!
Good movie, a real who dun it!!!!!
Herbert Lomas was in Ask a Policeman and The Ghost Train.
Dialogue heavy but you will need to pay attention and stick with it. Also features a pre Hollywood Philip Friend.
Now that was crazy.
Sounds exactly like Merle Oberon.
If the defendant doesn’t want to help herself then leave her to it let her go to jail. She’s irritating.
she would have been hanged
No, it made you realise she's hiding a very important and deep secret, if she's prepared to go to jail.
1:16 In cricket you don't compliment the batsman by saying "Well hit". You say "Well played".
In 1939 it must have been well hit
@@cathy6552 No.
In the beginning, I imagined Mrs Hamilton to be an old woman. 😁
Good time pass.
ONLY IN THE GOOD OLD DAYS CAN THEY MAKE MOVIES LIKE THIS. SOCIALIST HOLLYWOOD OF TODAY CAN TAKE A LESSON FROM THIS MOVIES.

Rubicon: why don't you lay out the whole film and spoil it for everyone ... so they don't have to watch and enjoy - shame on you ☹🤬☹🤬
@@joline2730 Oh, please -- don't encourage any more illiteracy from this person!
I won’t be reading any more comments -too much info invariably giving away the plot
