Der Würger kommt um Mitternacht (1952)
Ein dubioser Rechtsanwalt, der auch vor kriminellen Methoden nicht zurückschreckt, wird von einem geheimnisvollen Rächer verfolgt, der sich in immer neuen Verkleidungen präsentiert und sich an dem Anwalt, seinem früheren Partner, rächen will, weil er ihn für schuldig am Selbstmord seiner Schwester hält. Schließlich gibt sich der Rächer als Polizeiarzt zu erkennen, der den Anwalt zu erdrosseln droht. Trivialer Krimi in altmodisch-gepflegter Gruselatmosphäre; am ehesten schauspielerisch interessant.
