Murder!
Who killed Edna Druce?
Directed by Alfred Hitchcock
Produced by British International Pictures
A cerebral murder mystery centered on doubt, guilt, and the fallibility of justice, driven by a juror's moral reckoning rather than spectacle.
When actress Diana Baring is found in a daze beside her colleague’s murdered body, all evidence points to her guilt. During the trial, juror Sir John Menier doubts the verdict, but yields to pressure. Haunted by remorse, he launches his own investigation.
