Starring: Van Johnson and Rosalie Crutchley
An American in London turns detective to clear his wrongly convicted father
This mystery film is pretty standard fare on a common theme and is based on the 1950 A J Cronin novel of the same name. It features a night scene at an unknown level crossing whereby Van Johnson is nearly rundown by a train, the exact identity of which is unclear. The film was largely set in Liverpool but there is nothing to suggest that the level crossing was located there also.
