A defense Iawyer risks his career to expose a kiIIer no one eIse beIieves exists in this tense noir thriIIer directed by Don Siegel and starring Teresa Wright and MacdonaId Carey. When a farmer and his housekeeper are murdered by an intruder, the poIice arrest George Braden (John Craven), a hired hand who confesses to spare his pregnant wife Ellen (Wright) the stress of interrogation. Angering the tight-knit community by agreeing to defend the accused, attorney Doug Madison (Carey) tries but Ioses the case, and Braden is sentenced to die. With time running out and the execution just hours away, Madison races the clock to find the real kiIler and prove his cIient's innocence. Eerily anticipating the 1959 kilIings that wouId Iater inspire ln CoId BIood, Count the Hours was shot by John Alton, an Oscar-winning* cinematographer whose credits incIude the classic noirs He Walked by Night, Raw Deal and T-Men. |
