Girdle of Gold

A few years later Joseph Welch as the Judge in 'Anatomy of a Murder' sternly cautioned his jury not to titter at the mention of a pair of panties that figured prominently as vital evidence in the murder trial over which he was about to preside. Here a jury is depicted as in fits over a pair of stays in which a large sum of money has been concealed in a scene far more amusing to them than any audience chancing today upon this antediluvian attempt at 'saucy' farce that carried a 'U' certificate on it's original appearance.

This surprisingly well-lit scene demonstrated that the talents of cameraman Jack Asher would soon be put to much better use working for Hammer Films.
