The Tall Headlines is a 1952 British drama film directed by Terence Young and starring André Morell, Flora Robson, Michael Denison, Peter Burton, Sid James and Dennis Price.[2] [3] It was shot at Walton Studios outside London. In the United States the film was retitled The Frightened Bride.[4] It was based on the 1950 novel of the same title by Audrey Erskine Lindop.
A middle-class family suffer agonies when their eldest son is hanged for murder.
Allmovie called it a "grim British drama," but approved of "An excellent all-character-actor cast includes Flora Robson and Andre Morrell as the grieving parents, Michael Denison as the brother and Mai Zetterling as the initial murder victim.";[4] whereas TV Guide wrote, "Decent performances by some well-known British actors and actresses are wasted on this unbelievable story."[5]
