It's Never Too Late to Mend

In this 1937 British melodrama, Tod Slaughter stars as the villainous Squire Meadows, a cruel prison administrator who exploits his power to abuse and torment the inmates in his care. With a ruthless streak a mile wide, Meadows plots to win the affections of a young woman, Susan Merton, by any means necessary, but his evil plan is ultimately foiled when he underestimates the courage and resilience of those around him. Featuring Slaughter at his most over-the-top as a scenery-chewing villain, this film is a deliciously dark and entertaining ride that will leave you cheering on the hero as they take down the ruthless Meadows.
