“A romance of Scotland Yard”

DramaThrillerCrime

London, 1929. Frank Webber, a very busy Scotland Yard detective, seems to be more interested in his work than in Alice White, his girlfriend. Feeling herself ignored, Alice agrees to go out with an elegant and well-mannered artist who invites her to visit his fancy apartment.

VIBE

A tense, early sound drama where a woman's desperate search for attention leads to dangerous consequences. The atmosphere is thick with suspicion and the looming threat of scandal in a rigidly stratified London.
