Wissenswertes
One of the rare times William Hartnell was cast as the leading man.

Patzer
It is stretching credibility to suggest that Jill, who is about 8 years old when her father is sent to prison, should lose all memory of him, her mother, and her true identity in the intervening 15 years.

Zitate
[newly-released from Dartmoor prison and waiting for his train, Masterick gets chatting to two American soldiers]
American Soldier: I see you have a big prison here. We saw some of the boys working out in the moor yesterday. Tough-looking boys there were, too.
American Soldier: Any chance of getting inside and having a look around, sir?
Tom Masterick: Well, not unless you do a murder first, I'm afraid.
[the soldiers chuckle]
American Soldier: Have you seen inside, sir?
Tom Masterick: Yes. But then, you see, I *am* a murderer.
[the soldiers look horrified and turn away]
American Soldier: Come on, Joe. Let's go.

Crazy Credits
William Hartnell was credited by that name in the opening titles but was credited as Billy Hartnell in the cast list in the closing credits.

Workable thriller with a solid premise

I caught this one on Talking Pictures after it was previously unavailable for viewing for many years. It's a fun little 'wronged man' thriller which stars William Hartnell in a rare leading man performance, playing a guy suspected of murdering a love rival after being cuckolded by his wife. He goes to prison for 15 years but comes out convinced his 'victim' is still alive. Real-life husband and wife Jimmy Hanley and Dinah Sheridan help him out, and there's a bit of courtroom stuff too. Hartnell is unrecognisable in his old man makeup and very good in the part too, aided by a seedy John Slater and Montgomery Tully's brisk, workmanlike direction.
