the boys (1962)

A garage night watchman is found murdered and four men are arrested and tried. Events of the day are revisited in flashback from the point of view of the various suspects and witnesses. Will the trial ever get to the truth and reveal what really happened during an evening out for four young men.
An unflashy film, packed with fascinating period detail. This slowly draws you into the lives of the four young men. If you get a chance to see this then take it, if only to watch some excellent acting and an impassioned speech against the death penalty by Robert Morley.
