1h 27m
Directed by Terence Fisher • 1954 • United Kingdom
Starring Dane Clark, Belinda Lee, Betty Ann Davies
Future Hammer-horror legend Terence Fisher helms this twisty British whodunit (also known as MURDER BY PROXY), in which Casey Morrow (Dane Clark)—an American in London with no visible means of support—stumbles into what seems like the deal of a lifetime during a drunken night out when gorgeous heiress Phyllis Brunner (Belinda Lee) offers him a fortune just to marry her. But when he wakes up the next morning in another woman’s apartment with blood on his coat and Phyllis’s father murdered, he finds himself ensnared in an elaborate mystery, which he must untangle through the fog of history’s worst hangover.
