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

Blooper
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.

Citazioni
[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.

Curiosità sui crediti
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.

Searching for copy of Murder in Revserse

Murder in Reverse for some unknown reason sticks in my mind from my childhood more than any other film, and is one I would dearly love to see again. I always recall Hartnell passing by the berthed ship and seeing the man he 'killed' on board, but by MIA-reading the name of the ship it was never traced... I have scoured the TV listing to see it broadcast but gave up some years ago. The twist at the end is delicious. I have always been a fan of William Hartnell from the original 1950's Army Game through Carry On Sergeant to Dr Who. It had an impressive cast for the time of Hanley, Slater and Hartnell and you really felt sympathy for the man as he was led away to prison for a crime we all know he did not commit. Does anyone have a copy of this film or know if it has ever been released on video either in UK or overseas. Thanks, Trevor
