A man has lost his memory and rises to a position of authority and respect. One day he is confronted by a man who claims to have been involved with him in the past. The film is considered an antecedent of British Film Noir.[1]
Inspired by the 1938 French film Crossroads, it was made by Associated British Picture Corporation at the company's Elstree Studios. The film was completed in late 1939, but was not released until the following year.
