36 Hours - Duryea’s US Air Force Major Bill Rogers returns to post-war London to visit his estranged wife, only to find himself framed for her murder and in a race against the clock to track down the real killer and prove his innocence.
Mantrap - Mervyn Speight (Kieron Moore) has escaped from prison, where he has been for the murder of an ex-mistress two years earlier. Protesting his innocence and determined to find the real killer, he enlists the help of private detective Hugo Bishop (Henreid) who sets out to clear his name…
Stolen Face - Philip Ritter, a philanthropic plastic surgeon, is jilted by Alice, a beautiful concert pianist, after a whirlwind romance. In desperation, he remakes disfigured criminal Lily in Alice's image but learns to his very real cost that beauty is only skin deep.
Whispering Smith Hits London - An American detective, played by Hollywood star Richard Carlson, whose London holiday turns deadly when he’s drawn into a suspicious suicide case. Directed by English filmmaker Francis Searle, the film co-stars Greta Gynt, Herbert Lom, Rona Anderson, and Alan Wheatley, the film is rich in smoky tension and moral ambiguity, all shaped by Hammer’s unmistakable British sensibility.
