Description:
This little-seen gem, the latest in the acclaimed Pulp Cinema series of film noir classics, was directed by Lawrence Huntington, a veteran of small B-noirs like 'The Patient Vanishes' (1941), 'The Upturned Glass' (1947), and 'Man on the Run' (1948). Reminiscent of Edgar Ulmer's 'Bluebeard,' this portrayal of a serial killer gradually succumbing to love for one of his chosen victims was written by Emeric Pressburger (who also co-wrote and directed some of the most highly regarded films of all time such as 'The Red Shoes' and 'Black Narcissus'). Also known as 'Voice in the Night,' this well-received British noir makes its U.S. home video debut in this new DVD presentation, digitally restored from the 35mm negative.

What happens when a serial murderer falls in love with one of his intended victims? Can love drive you sane? That's one of the questions asked by WANTED FOR MURDER, an excellent British crime-thriller from 1946.
The movie begins with a love triangle. Pretty young Anne Fielding (Dulcie Gray) works in a gramophone shop. She has been squired by the cultured, debonair and successful Victor Colebrooke (Eric Portman) for some time when she meets bus conductor Jack Williams (Derek Farr), a man of ... Read More
Rating: - Terrific movie. Good DVD.
Very surprised to see this come out on DVD. I'd seen this on TV in England about 15 years ago and loved it on first viewing.
The basic premise concerns a series of grisly murders gripping the city of London. The crimes in question being committed by a man haunted by his deceased father, whose job was official hangman for Her Majesty. With the killer seemingly one step ahead of the police, it becomes a tense game of cat and mouse.
I won't go into all the plot details except to say ... Read More
