Review of Town on Trial (1957) by Carlton R — 28 Jul 2013
What a film. What a cast, John Mills as Superintendent Mike Halloran.
Charles Coburn as Dr. John Fenner.
Barbara Bates as Elizabeth Fenner.
Derek Farr as Mark Roper.
Alec McCowen as Peter Crowley.
Fay Compton as Mrs. Crowley.
Elizabeth Seal as Fiona Dixon.
Geoffrey Keen as Charles Dixon.
Margaretta Scott as Helen Dixon.
Meredith Edwards as Sergeant Rogers.
Harry Locke as Sergeant Beale.
Raymond Huntley as Dr. Reese, pathologist.
Harry Fowler as Bandleader.
Maureen Connell as Mary Roper.
Magda Miller as Molly Stevens.
Newton Blick as Assistant Commissioner Beckett.
Oscar Quitak as David.
Dandy Nichols as Mrs. Wilson, this is a great murder mystery, as John Mills sets to investigate a series of murders whilst under the spell of Barbara Bates, these films are gentle in their approach to crime, no blood,sex,or gore but still find the viewer left spellbound to this magnificent period piece, John you are so missed in film, as is Charles Coburn.
