Synopsis
"Time Without Pity" (1957) is a British crime thriller directed by Joseph Losey — watch it online on iFILM. Michael Redgrave plays David Graham, a writer and recovering alcoholic who flies into London to find his son Alec on death row: the execution is 24 hours away, and David missed the entire trial.
Alec refuses to speak. He has contempt for the father who was never there, and nothing about his manner suggests he wants saving. David has to find the real killer nearly alone, fuelled more by guilt than clues. The trail leads to a wealthy family — and the deeper he digs, the more dangerous the territory.
Losey, who had been forced out of Hollywood during the Red Scare and was working in Britain under pressure, brings an unusual charge to this courtroom-free thriller: it's as much about a father's long neglect as it is about murder. Leo McKern is sharp as the main suspect. Watch "Time Without Pity" (1957) online on iFILM.
