DEADLY RECORD is a short and snappy 'wronged man' style thriller with a leading role for Canadian import Lee Patterson. It clocks in at just an hour in length and thus gets down to business from the outset, as our pilot hero returns home to find his wife's murdered body in her studio. The finger of suspicion naturally falls on him, so he must fight to clear his name with the aid of his glamorous colleague, played by a pre-Hammer Barbara Shelley. DEADLY RECORD moves along at a fair clip, adding in the usual twists and turns into the murder mystery-type plotting, and boasting solid support from Geoffrey Keen, Percy Herbert and Ferdy Mayne among others. The outcome managed to surprise me, too.
