Freedom to Die

Freedom to Die is a 1961 British second feature[1] crime thriller film directed by Francis Searle, starring Paul Maxwell and Felicity Young.

Craig Owen is an incarcerated criminal whose cellmate Felix knows about a safety deposit box with valuable contents.

Unable to open the box, he forces Felix's adopted daughter, Linda, to give him the key.

The Monthly Film Bulletin said "Unexceptional crime-and-vengeance thriller, lumbered with unnecessary plot ramifications and pretensions toward deeper motivation that neither script nor cast are equipped to handle properly.

The direction is rough-and-ready, but keeps the action ticking over steadily.
