THE LORD HAVE MERCY

by Shelley Smith ‧ RELEASE DATE: Jan. 9, 1956

Dr. Robert Mansbridge's purely professional attentions to Catherine Duncton, a good girl with an unbearable life tied to an invalid father, sets a small English town to talking- while the death of his wife Editha stirs an even uglier memory- of the Crippen case. The doctor's patients drift away; drink accelerates his dissolution, and Catherine, through her love, completes his victimization... Again a close, uncompromising and uncomfortable record of little lives.
