Curiosità

Crown v. Stevens ​is a 1936 British crime thriller film directed by Michael Powell, starring Beatrix Thomson and Patric Knowles and featuring Glennis Lorimer and Googie Withers. It was written by Brock Williams based on the 1935 novel Third Time Unlucky by Lawrence Meynell, and was made as a quota quickie.

Production

Director Michael Powell said of the five "quota quickies" he directed for producer Irving Asher at Warner Bros.' Teddington Studios, that they were "a damn sight more honest and more entertaining" then other films he worked on at the time, "because they were not trying to be anything but what they were, and they were tailored from first-class scripts". These were cut down to 50 pages by the story department and handed over to the director.
