Cenas durante ou pós-créditos
Opening credits prologue: This story is true . . . . .

By that we do not mean these events actually happened. We mean that it is a story of real newspaper life.

While you sleep in your beds the news of the world is collected, sifted, investigated and presented by mechanical means at your breakfast table.

This is primarily a film to show how that comes about. The story selected is an old one. Murder . . . . .

But every murder story is front page news for a newspaper. And if this film helps you to know how that news appears on the breakfast table, it will have achieved its object . . . . . . .

The Hangman Waits review

An odd and dark low-budget docudrama which follows the hunt for the killer of a cinema usherette. It's opening credit claims to provide an insight into the investigative journalism that goes into the reporting of a murder (it was made with the co-operation of The News of the World) but it shows little of any worth. Little is known about its Australian-born writer, director and producer A. Barr-Smith, and while the film is often amateurish and clumsily directed, he does show some moments of real creativity. John Le Mesurier makes his screen debut as a newsman.
