A star-studded cast assembles for Time Without Pity, one of the finest British film noirs of the 1950s. A young man, played by Alec McCowen, waits on death row after being convicted of murdering his girlfriend, when his estranged, alcoholic father (Michael Redgrave) arrives unexpectedly, determined to clear his son’s name before time runs out. As the hours tick away, suspicion shifts across an ever-growing list of potential killers, each hiding secrets of their own. Featuring powerful supporting turns from Leo McKern, Ann Todd, Lois Maxwell, and Joan Plowright, the film unfolds with mounting tension and emotional depth. Steeped in pathos and moral complexity, every frame is infused with regret, remorse, and a desperate search for justice.
