murder at 3am (1953)
"3am, 6th of December, at the Roxy."
A mugger is on the loose, but this time he has killed his victim whilst robbing them. Detective Peter Lawson (Dennis Price) has no clues and is under pressure from his bosses and the press. Then his sister's fiance Edward King (Phillip Saville) comes up with a theory and Lawson begins to suspect Edward may be the murderer.
A competent quota quickie that unusually casts Price as the hero, rather than his usual cad role. Listen out for the shockingly melodramatic, and intrusive, organ soundtrack, straight out of a Todd Slaughter murder mystery!
