Distant Trumpet is a 1952 British second feature ('B')[1] drama film directed by Terence Fisher and starring Derek Bond and Jean Patterson.

A Harley Street doctor answers the call to perform medical missionary work in Africa, taking over from his indisposed brother.

The picture is nearly all talk – a glimpse of Kensington Gardens and an African outpost are the only exteriors – but the dialogue is intelligent and the interplay of character neat.

The supporting types are slightly overdrawn, but nevertheless provide effective, if occasionally unintentional, light relief.

"[6] Picture Show wrote: "It is rather slow moving but good performances are given by the leading players.
