Condemned to Death
Condemned to Death is a 1932 British crime film directed by Walter Forde and starring Arthur Wontner, Gillian Lind and Gordon Harker. It was adapted from the play Jack O'Lantern by James Dawson which was itself based on a 1929 novel by George Goodchild.
Thought to have been lost, "a cut version dubbed in French" was found as a result of a 1992 British Film Institute campaign to locate missing movies.
