THEY DRIVE BY NIGHT (1938) - DVD

Stars Emlyn Williams, Ernest Thesiger, Anna Konstam, Allan Jeayes and Antony Holles. Not to be confused with the Humphrey Bogart film of the same title. This is the story of an ex-convict on the run for his life. He discovered a murdered woman and is accused of the crime. The man hides out in the shadows of an abandoned house, aided only by an old girlfriend who believes his innocence. A local psychopath, deliciously played by Ernest Thesiger (Dr. Pretorius from THE BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN), arrives at the dark hideaway and things really heat up. A twisty and twisted rare British film that really cooks with Thesiger behind the wheel!
