Silent Dust (1949)
A wealthy blind man is determined to build a cricket pavilion as a memorial to his dead son, who was killed in battle in World War II. Not long before the dedication ceremony is to be held, the son shows up; it turns out that he wasn't killed in battle but deserted, and has become a blackmailer and a killer. He wants to get some money to "start a new life", but his blind father senses that something is wrong and sets out to find out what's going on.

趣闻
- 改编自：The Paragon
Silent Dust is a 1949 British drama/thriller film directed by Lance Comfort and starring Sally Gray, Stephen Murray, Derek Farr and Nigel Patrick. The title comes from lines in Thomas Gray's Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard (1751): "Can Honour's voice provoke the silent dust, or flattery soothe the dull cold ear of Death?" The screenplay was by Michael Pertwee, adapted from the 1948 play The Paragon by himself and Roland Pertwee.
Production
The film was shot in film noir style with dramatic use of light and shadow.
Part of the finance came from two rubber merchants, Colonels Weil and Prior.
