This is also known as "White Fire" but that title makes no sense. Scott Brady stars as Gregor Stevens, a sailor who gets some time off to see his brother.
He gets a big shock when he finds out that his brother is scheduled to be hung in London in three days after being convicted of murder. Gregor sets out to prove his brother is innocent and that proves to be harder than Gregor ever expected.
He meets a beautiful woman named Yvonne (Mary Castle) who is somehow involved in the framing of Gregor's brother. Stevens also meets up with a boxer who helps him out and almost loses his life twice.
There are a lot of twists and turns in this fine little thriller that seems to be rather obscure, which is sad. The entire cast does an very good job in this John Gilling directed film.
The same production team that brought you "The Crawling Eye" are behind this movie as well. If you're a film noir fan, you might want to check this out. I won't say anything more about the movie as I don't want to spoil it.
The rest of the cast includes John Blythe, Gabriella Brune, Ferdy Mayne and Colin Tapley.
