The Drayton Case

"The Drayton Case" is a 1953 British short crime film that dramatizes the true story of Harry Dobkin's case, adapted from his own experiences. The film follows Victor Platt as Drayton, whose wife Elizabeth was strangled and her body was uncovered by a bomb during World War II. Narrated by Edgar Lustgarten, the film is a taut documentary-style retelling of the tragic events, effectively played out by Hilda Barry as Elizabeth Drayton.
