Libel
The surprise witness ! The searching question ! The perjured testimony ! The accusing finger ! The shattering truth !
Directed by Anthony Asquith
Produced by De Grunwald Productions, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer British Studios
A tense courtroom mystery built on identity, deception, and the unreliability of memory and testimony, where a war veteran's claim to expose an impostor unravels through legal procedure and doubt.
A California commercial pilot sees a telecast in London of an interview with Sir Mark Lodden at his home. The Canadian is convinced that the baronet is a fraud, and he is actually a look-alike actor named Frank Welney.
