Eric Portman stars with Dulcie Gray, Eric Farr, and Stanley Holloway in "Wanted for Murder," also known as "A Voice in the Night."
I wish more young people could get into classic films - the look at the past in this film is so interesting. Imagine a record shop, which we've seen in old films before, where someone comes in, requests a record, and an employee plays it on a record player. Twenty years later, the city would be alive with mod fashions and the Beatles.
There's a strangler of young women on the loose, sending postcards to the police before the various murders. Suspicion falls on a young man (Derek Farr) but when he's clear, the chief detective (Roland Culver) becomes suspicious of a smooth, dapper man (Portman) who seems to have been in the vicinity of one of the murders.
Portman's mother is played by Barbara Everest, familiar to people who have seen the U.S. "Gaslight." She suspects her son is disturbed and becomes anxious when he leaves the house. But the Portman character can't seem to help himself. And it seems this predilection runs in the family.
Decent film, worth watching.
