Strangers’ Meeting (1957)

A chance encounter with a stranger plunges the story into a world of crime, lies, and murder in this 64-minute British film. Delphi Lawrence leads a strong cast that includes Victor Maddern, Norman Rossington, Conrad Phillips, and Reginald Hearne. The story follows Peter Arne, an acrobat wrongly accused of murder. He flees the law and takes refuge in a remote inn, providing director Robert Day with opportunities for shadowy visuals and unsettling lighting. The true killer is revealed just moments before their demise. *Stranger's Meeting* was released after Robert Day's directorial debut, *The Green Man*, had already been shown.
