EYEWITNESS 1956 (TUBI)

Murder mystery would have better at one hour.

This 82 minute J. Arthur Rank production is ok, but it could have used some trimming as it lost my attention several times.

A woman witnesses a robbery at a theater and in fleeing from the crooks chasing her she is hit by a bus.

The resulting plot consists of the gangsters trying to get her out of the hospital after they discover that she is still alive. The woman, Lucy Church (Muriel Pavlow) is married and her husband spend the entire film trying to track down where she went.

The last 15 minutes or so are very well done as one of the gangsters turned killer is trying to get Lucy out of the way so there are no witnesses.

Those scenes are very well done with plenty of suspense, but some of the earlier scenes really needed to go, in my opinion. You might want to check this out, and you may like it more than I did.
