MR. DENNING DRIVES NORTH

by Alec Coppel ‧ RELEASE DATE: April 23, 1951

A pleasant to playful postmortem of a murder in which Tom Denning, a successful business man and fond father, returns to the scene of the crime in which he had disposed of a bounder who threatened to ruin the life of his daughter, Liz. Tormented not by guilt- but by the fact that the body had been undiscovered, and later vanished, Tom confesses his crime to Kay, his wife, attempts to find where his perfect plan had miscarried, traces the corpse via the local gazette, a mortuary, to a gipsy encampment. It is the young lawyer Liz is now to marry who finally jeopardizes his safety, turns up the solution which will convict Tom- until Liz, who suspects the truth, deflects the evidence to save her father... A British background for a teaser which will attract the mystery market as well- if not primarily.
