Double Confession is a 1950 British crime film directed by Ken Annakin and starring Derek Farr, Joan Hopkins, William Hartnell and Peter Lorre.

[3] Arriving late at night in the (fictional) seaside town of Seagate, Jim Medway heads for his estranged wife Lorna's isolated coastal cottage.

The film was made at the Teddington Studios of Warner Brothers in London with extensive location shooting in Bexhill-on-Sea and nearby Hastings in East Sussex.

[7] In contemporary reviews Kine Weekly said "The film has a very involved story and to make matters worse it keeps breaking off to tour the popular seaside resorts where it was shot.

The film does not even remain true to its melodramatic plot, but breaks off into touches of stereotyped humour from Kathleen Harrison, and prolonged tours of the various entertainments of the seaside town.

"[11] In The New York Times, Bosley Crowther commented, "it rambles around in maddening fashion for what seems interminable hours while Naunton Wayne as a deadpanned detective tries to figure out who killed whom...It is all very odd and disconnected, especially when Peter Lorre pops in from time to time to behave like a degenerate and offer to kill anybody in the house";[12] while more recently Allmovie wrote, "The presence of Peter Lorre assured a modicum of American business for the British meller Double Confession...Lorre's role is largely peripheral, but he does supply a few moments of genuine menace";[13] Sky Movies wrote, "Director Ken Annakin showed in an earlier film, Holiday Camp [1947], that he liked to be beside the seaside.
