The Long Memory
Three years after directing Kind Hearts And Coronets, Robert Hamer came up with this gritty thriller about a man (John Mills), who is framed by his girlfriend (Elizabeth Sellars) for a murder he did not commit.
After serving 12 years in prison he is released, only to discover that Sellars has married the detective (John McCallum) who was in charge of his case.
Shutting himself away on a gloomy barge, Mills festers, a broken man, before events catch up with him.
It's thoughtfully scripted and, despite a bleak and unexciting plot, Hamer makes the best of the Thames' barren mudflats to build up the doom-laden atmosphere.
