DR CRIPPEN (1962)

The true story of the American Dr. Hawley Harvey Crippen (Donald Pleasence Circus of Horrors, The Great Escape), who was hanged in London in 1910 for poisoning his wife, Belle, so he could be with his young lover, the darkly beautiful Ethel Le Neve. As the adulterous couple fled England, Belle’s dismembered remains are discovered in the coal cellar. Crippen and Ethel are finally arrested en route to North America by ship. Billed as the crime of the century at the time, was Crippen really guilty? Fully re-mastered for this release.
