At the Stroke of Nine is a 1957 British crime film directed by Lance Comfort and starring Patricia Dainton, Stephen Murray, Patrick Barr and Dermot Walsh.

When reporter Sally Bryant chases a major scoop, she is captured by concert pianist Stephen Garrett, who says he will murder her within the next five days.

The typeface of the reports gives a clue to the police, who reach Garrett's house in time to prevent him from strangling Sally.

The villain has no virtues and the hero no vices; the heroine registers suitable cold terror: and the script calls for little more from them.

"[4] TV Guide wrote, "the frantic search for the loonie by police offers some interesting scenes with fair suspense.
