Landslide is a 1937 British drama film directed by Donovan Pedelty and starring Jimmy Hanley, Dinah Sheridan and Jimmy Mageean. It was made at Wembley Studios as a quota quickie for release by Paramount Pictures.[1]
Just after a performance by a visiting theatre troupe, when the audience has left, a murder victim is found in a Welsh theatre. A local policeman tells the remaining people that they must stay in the theatre while he summons help, but the torrential rain causes a landslide, trapping the actors and stage crew inside, along with the police officer and a local woman. They are trapped there for days with their only food what the local woman had in her bag - a small piece of cheese and her fish and chips. Then one of the people is attacked, and they realise that the murderer is still in the building.
