Curiosità
Violent Moment is a 1959 British second feature ('B') drama film directed by Sidney Hayers and starring Lyndon Brook, Jane Hylton and Jill Browne. It was film editor Hayers' first film as director. It also marked the debut of Moira Redmond. It was written by Peter Barnes based on the 1956 story "A Toy for Juffy" by Roy Vickers, from his "Department of Dead Ends" series, originally published from 1934. These stories were ‘inverted’ mysteries: the reader knows the identity of the criminal, but the interest lies in how the detective solves the case and featured detectives dusting off cold cases. As with many of the criminals in Vickers’ stories, the protagonist is sympathetically depicted.
