The Prisoner is a 1955 British black-and-white psychological thriller film directed by Peter Glenville and based on the play of the same name by Bridget Boland. It stars Alec Guinness and Jack Hawkins. Although controversial at the time of its release, the film received five nominations at the 9th British Academy Film Awards: Best Film From Any Source, Best British Film, Best British Screenplay, and Best British Actor.

Production

The character of the Cardinal in The Prisoner was based on Hungarian cardinal József Mindszenty (1892–1975), who was convicted after a show trial in Hungary, as well as on Croatian cardinal Aloysius Stepinac (1898–1960), who was tried and convicted in Croatia. As a result of the similarities to Stepinac, the film was not shown in Yugoslavia until after the fall of the communist government.

The film was shot in England, and at Ostend and Bruges in Belgium. Ronald Lewis had a small role.
