Time Without Pity
It all started with a young girl’s scream …
Directed by Joseph Losey
Produced by Harlequin Productions Ltd
A tense 1950s crime thriller centered on a father's desperate race against time to prove his son's innocence while confronting his own failures and demons.
Alec Graham is sentenced to death for the murder of his girlfriend Jennie, with whom he spent a weekend at the English country home of the parents of his friend Brian Stanford. Alec’s father, David Graham, a not-so-successful writer and alcoholic who has neglected his son in the past, flies in from Canada to visit his son on death row. David then goes on a quest to try and clear his son’s name while battling “the bottle.”
