that category : A) For Saturdays Only? B ) For Cushing Fans Only? C) For
Crackpots Only? D) For Sadists Only?. This Competition is now LIVE

TIME WITHOUT PITY: THE SPEC:
AVAILABLE NOW : ORDER YOUR COPY DIRECT HERE!
Limited Blu-ray Edition (World Blu-ray premiere)
Following his blacklisting in the McCarthy HUAC hearings, director
Joseph Losey (Eva, The Damned, Secret Ceremony) moved to the England in
the 1950s. The gritty British suspense thriller, Time Without Pity was
the first film he made in the UK under his own name.
In a
BAFTA-nominated performance, the great Michael Redgrave (Goodbye Gemini,
Connecting Rooms, Dead of Night) stars as an anguished father whose son
is convicted of murder and languishing on death row. In a desperate
race-against-time, he attempts to prove his son’s innocence whilst
bringing the real murderer to justice.
With photography by
Freddie Francis (The Elephant Man), and a superb supporting cast
including Ann Todd (Taste of Fear), Leo McKern (X the Unknown), and
Peter Cushing (Corruption, The Beast Must Die), Time Without Pity is
brilliantly accomplished slice of Brit-noir, and a potent cry against
capital punishment.
