Product Description
In an early lead role, Robert Newton stars in a compelling murder
melodrama charting a struggling novelist's desperate bid to start life
anew - in a dead man's clothes...
Released in 1939, Dead Men Are Dangerous captures the
richly talented British stage star at a point of transition, as West
End acclaim gave way to burgeoning film success; Newton's pre-War
achievements would be consolidated with iconic portrayals of Bill Sikes
and Long John Silver in the 1940s and '50s. This rare, London-set
thriller is presented here in a brand-new digital transfer from the
original film elements.
Aylmer Franklyn, an unsuccessful writer saddled with debts, seizes the
chance to change his identity after discovering a corpse under a fallen
branch. Faking his own death, he swaps his clothes for those of the
dead man, and even attends his own inquest. But the events that result
make him only too happy to resume his own identity...
