An Honourable Murder is a 1960 British second feature ('B')[1] drama film directed by Godfrey Grayson and starring Norman Wooland, Margaretta Scott and Lisa Daniely.[2] [3] It was written by Brian Clemens and Eldon Howard and produced by The Danzigers.
It is a modern reworking of William Shakespeare's Julius Caesar set in the corporate world of the City of London.
The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "The idea of slotting Shakespeare's Julius Caesar into a big-business melodrama fails to generate much tension, partly through laggardly development, partly because the acting is too undistinguished to create its own conviction. The whole thing, especially the ending, cannot avoid seeming glib and contrived for its own sake. Nevertheless, for a Danziger production, this second feature has a certain novelty interest."[4]
Leslie Halliwell said: "Not entirely successful, but full marks for trying."[5]
