Double Exposures (also known as Alibi Breaker) is a 1937 British crime film directed by John Paddy Carstairs and starring David Langton, Julien Mitchell and Ruby Miller.[1] [2] It was written by Gerald Elliott, and made at Shepperton Studios as a quota quickie.[3]
Reporter Peter Bradfield is fired from his newspaper for failing to deliver an interview with big businessman Hector Rodman. Plucky Bradfield subsequently becomes a photographic equipment salesman, and accidentally takes photos of two men in conversation. Unbeknown to him, these men are the businessmen's lawyer and his secretary, and are plotting to embezzle a fortune in bonds from Rodman, and planning to frame his workshy son George for the crime.
The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "The development of the story is always obvious and the direction and acting are poor. There is very little suspense and the humour is mainly unintentional."[4]
TV Guide called the film a "Negligible British effort".[5]
