Donald Houston stars in "The Long Rope" from 1953, also starring Susan Shaw, Robert Brown, Peter Byrne, Richard Warner, and Vanda Godsell.
After spending time in prison, Tom Penney (Houston) returns to his home town. His ex-girlfriend is marrying someone else; his father doesn't want him in the house; and as soon as the local floozy is murdered, he gets the blame.
Donald Houston reminded me of a homely version of Ingo Rademacher, an actor on General Hospital, and a young Lloyd Bridges. He certainly evoked sympathy in the role.
Interesting look at guilty until proven innocent in a small English town.
