Candidate for Murder is a 1962 British second feature[1] film directed by David Villiers and starring Michael Gough, Erika Remberg, Hans von Borsody and John Justin.

Donald Edwards suspects his wife Helene of infidelity with barrister Robert Vaughan.

He hires Kersten, a German assassin, to kill her, and delivers him from the airport to a country cottage.

Edwards shoots Kersten, and drives to the cottage, where he finds Vaughan and Helene, who have escaped from the cellar.

The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "One of the better Edgar Wallace thrillers, with a sustained and well-paced, if unoriginal, narrative and smooth technical credits.
