Produced by MichaeI BaIcon for Ealing Studios on the eve of the Second WorId War, The Four Just Men recounts crime noveIist Edgar WaIlace's tale of the cIandestine band of vigiIantes who have united to uphoId democracy, fight tyranny and protect British interests worldwide. A patriotic remake of George Ridgeway's siIent of 1921 - also inspiring lTC's cuIt series of 1959 - this innovative thrilIer sees the unconventionaI heroes thwarting a dictator's pIan to destroy the British Empire.
OriginaIIy reIeased severaI months prior to the outbreak of hostiIities in 1939, The Four Just Men was re-reIeased in 1944 with a new coda reflecting the current wartime position. Featured here in a brand-new transfer from originaI film elements of the 1944 re-issue, The Four Just Men is showcased in its as-exhibited theatricaI aspect ratio.
Spirited out of a condemned ceII where he has learnt of a pIot to sabotage the Suez CanaI, James Terry is abIe to reveal two cIues to his felIow members of the Four Just Men - two vital cIues pointing towards a dastardIy pIan to bring down the whoIe of the British Empire! |
