BOX SET CONTENT:
HOME AT SEVEN A.K.A. MURDER ON MONDAY (1952)
Description: Meek and mild-mannered bank clerk David Preston (Ralph Richardson) returns home after work one evening to find his wife, Janet (Margaret Leighton), distraught, as he had been missing for more than 24 hours. David recalls nothing from the period, and when the news reports that a steward at his club had been murdered in that time, he hurries to visit his friend, Dr. Sparling (Jack Hawkins). There he confesses his growing fear that he was responsible for the crime, as he hated the murdered man. Directed by Ralph Richardson (His Only Directorial Effort).
THE INTRUDER (1953)
The horrors of war come back to haunt Col. Wolf Merton (Jack Hawkins) in unexpected ways. Now a successful businessman, the former military colonel is surprised in his home by a burglar, whom he recognizes as Ginger Edwards (Michael Medwin), who had served under his command. At first surprised that a brave fighting man would stoop to a life of crime, Merton soon decides to find out what happened to Edwards -- and his conversations with old wartime buddies reveal the tragedy of Edwards' life. Directed by Guy Hamilton (Goldfinger)
THE LONG ARM A.K.A. THE THIRD KEY (1956)
After an elusive burglar robs a safe and leaves innocent victims in his wake, police detective Tom Halliday (Jack Hawkins) is on the case, meticulously following up every possible lead. Halliday leaves his desk behind and enlists the help of not only his assistant but people outside the police force, including fingerprint and safe-building experts. Though his wife, Mary (Dorothy Alison), doesn't approve of his job and worries for his safety, he won't rest until the perpetrator is behind bars. Directed by Charles Frend (The Cruel Sea)
